Passwords will always have a risk of an attacker guessing the correct the password
(Gollmann, D. 2011). If the password has been thought prudent the risks of an attacker guessing it will drastically decrease (Gollmann, D. 2011). A study from 2010 was published by Ashlee Vance where the most common password was “123456” and in this study Vance mentions “easier a password is for the owner to remember generally means it will be easier for an attacker to guess”. A hard password to remember by the user will mean it will be hard for an attacker to guess it. If the password is hard to remember then the user might need to write it down, which ends with another opportunity for the attacker. This leaves a “conclusion” the better memory a person has the stronger password can they have. The only solution here will be to make precautions to hide the note with the password. It can't possibly be right. The Vance study doesn't mention defences like Dieter, passwords
