A cartoon history of passwords

[usernamenumber]

Jason Novak does cartoons and children's book illustrations in a style I love more and more as it develops. He recently teamed up with the guy who did the History of Rome podcast to create a short history of the use of passwords, and it's a fun read. Plus, all the backgrounds are courtesy of his daughter's finger painting. D'aww.

I particularly like this one: "In 1997 a team working for Altavista created the captcha system to prevent bots from passing as humans - making it harder for humans to pass as humans in the process"
