Users are required and expected to generate and remember numerous good passwords, a challenge that is next to impossible without a systematic approach to the task. Associative passwords in combination with guidelines for the construction of 'Word', 'Mixed', and 'Non-word' passwords has been validated as an effective approach to creating strong, memorable passwords. The strength of associative passwords has previously been assessed by entropy-based metrics. This paper evaluates the strength of a set of collected associative passwords using a variety of password-cracking techniques. Analysis of the cracking sessions shows that current techniques for cracking passwords are not effective against associative passwords.
