## On Passwords
Memorizing lots of passwords sucks.
Writing down passwords sucks.
Using the same password sucks.
Server side password solutions suck.
Two factor authentication is expensive.
And, therefore, sucks.
## How it works:
With Passable, you remember a long secret phrase that only you know. Something like:
```
The rain in spain falls mainly on the plain
(But make up your own)
```
Whenever you need a password, you use an account nickname. For instance, for a gmail account, the identifier might be:
```
gmail bob
(But make up your own)
```
