[color="#cc8899"]Nexon is late to the party. They also almost directly quoted the article I posted in that thread.
Compare:
"Choose a strong password for sites you care for the privacy of the information you
store. Bruce Schneir’s advice is useful: “take a sentence and turn it into a password.
Something like “This little piggy went to market” might become "tlpWENT2m".
That nine-character password won't be in anyone's dictionary.”11"
to Nexon's
"One of the easiest ways to create a memorable password is to use a sentence that will be easy for you to remember and take the first letter of every word to create a nonsense word. “my dad is 45 years old in 2010” would become “mdi45yoi2010.” add in some number substitutes for the letters and the phrase becomes “md145y012o1o.” that’s a word you won’t find in any dictionary."

Someone please do me a favor (I'm at work) and post the 2nd link as well as the quote on Nexon's forums, noting this. It's pretty obvious that all they did is reword the article enough to avoid plagiarism.
