Passwords need to be as 'strong' as the information or service they are protecting.

If you are using passwords to protect critical data or online services then theyu need to be unguessable by machines that can try hundreds of thousands passwords over a relatively short period of time.

Using passwords that anyone can guess because they are easy to remember should not be done for any type of protection to services or data you are actually worried or care about.

When you Archive an Article, the content is put into a state which removes it from your site as published content. The Article is still available from within the Control Panel and can be retrieved for editing or republishing purposes. Trashed Articles are just one step from being permanently deleted but are still available until you Remove them from the Trash Manager. You should use Archive if you consider an Article important, but not current. Trash should be used when you want to delete the content entirely from your site and from future search results.
