Okay, this was funny...

I went to buy something from Amazon earlier and it suggested a payphrase, as it always does (I don't use one), but this was especially hilarious:



I think they're trying to tell me something.

[Snobal]

Hahaha! These things are weird man... I've gotten suggested phrases like "Theoretical Investigation", "Artistic (read: Autistic) Control", and "Trusting Countenance".

[MaxRile]

whats a "pay phrase" for any who

[Grimblast]

I think its a way to make your order process go by faster. It's sort of a convenience thing. I could be wrong though.

[Zancarius]

No, you're right. It's a pure convenience thing to avoid having to log in (but you have to create it first). I'm sure it has its uses, but I don't use one; increased convenience usually means decreased security.

Besides, on systems that support it, you should generally treat your password as a passphrase. Once you get beyond 8-12 characters, brute-forcing any well designed system becomes prohibitive.
