About the Password Memory Challenge

The Password Memory Challenge is a simple but revealing test of how well humans can remember complex passwords. Research shows that the average person struggles to remember passwords with mixed cases, numbers, and symbols - yet these are exactly the kind of passwords security experts recommend.

Why Can't We Remember Complex Passwords?

Human memory evolved to remember patterns, stories, and visual information - not random strings of characters. A password like "Tr0ub4dor&3" has no pattern or meaning, making it extremely difficult for our brains to encode and recall. This is why most people score poorly on this challenge, typically getting only 2-4 characters correct out of 20.

The Better Alternative: Passphrases

Instead of complex passwords, security experts now recommend using passphrases - multiple random words combined together. A passphrase like "correct-horse-battery-staple" is both easier to remember (it tells a sort of story) and more secure (more entropy) than traditional complex passwords.
