comment How WEP/WPA authentication works in a WiFi environment?
WEP and WAP has nothing to do with the 802.1x protocol AFAIK. It's only a way to crypt the wireless transmission. By the way, they usually require a key prior to connection, that will be incompatible (or will come as an addition) to the 802.1x authentication. In fact, only the authentication server can authenticate you, therefore you can't use any secret to communicate with the authenticator. Not sure if anyone has set up this kind of architecture using WAP/WEP keys, but I think this will just be a burden.

comment What are Security Practices for NoSql databases
Welcome to Security.se, you question as formulated here is too broad. Could you refine your question with more details like: what did you already did, what is the architecture of your service (is it direct access to DB via internet, is it a server for an online application, ...), what data do you want to protect (user data, credit card number, ...). As is, this question is very likely to be closed.

comment Can someone steal money from my bank account if they know my IBAN and personal details?
In France, I am required to send a letter of authorisation for each automatic withdrawing order (phone company, energy company etc). Hopefully the lack of proper authorisation should trigger refusal?

comment Strategies to store/remember very long password?
"Nobody can brute force your head" is a wrong assumption. There are methods to get pieces of information from people and that's called "Social Engineering".

comment Strategies to store/remember very long password?
You already suggested the Bible verse. So it does make perfect sense. It shows that size matters not, it's entropy that matter. If you have an algorithm/method to set your password over true randomness, there is a possibility that someone figures it out (you even revealed it here, for what we know). Thus, you can't rely on the obscurity of your method. Making hypothesis on the knowledge of the attacker is a mistake.
