Hugh's Secure but Easy to Remember Password GeneratorHere is a little routine for generating a secure password you can actually remember. You take an easy to remember phrase of at least eight words from a favorite book, song, movie or poem (the more obscure the better) for example: Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow | |
| And then you yank the first letter from each word so it becomes: | Mhallifwwas |
| And then you change the case and add easy to remember punctuation to it: | Mhall,Ifwwas? |
| And then you can change some of the letters into similar numbers or special characters: | Mh4ll,1fww45? |
| Then for extra measure you should add a special character at the beginning and end: | *Mh4ll,1fww45?* |
|
Another option is an artist with a long album or song name such as: | |
| Coldplay's "A Rush of Blood to the Head" | #Cp:aR0B2tH# |
| Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" | @Ej-Dltsgd0m@ |
| REO Speedwagon's "You Can Tune a Piano, But You Can't Tuna Fish | !REOS!UcTaP,BucTF! |
| Bon Jovi's "You Give Love a Bad Name" | ^JBJ-UgLaBN^ |
| AC/DC's "For Those About To Rock We Salute You" | @AC/DC:4Ta2rwsU! |
| Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water" | ?LB+cs&tHDfH2O? (using H20 as water) |
| Phillip Phillip's "The World From the Side of the Moon" | #p.p.=tWftS0tM# |
| This produces passwords that Kaspersky's password checker finds will take centuries to crack, and How Secure Is My Password thinks it would take a long time as well. But they are easy for you to remember! Just don't sing any song aloud when typing in your password!! Enter a phrase here and try it out! Phrase: | |
