Password strength

I thought some of my passwords were pretty good -- Yikes. Back to the drawing board.
This site is pretty interesting:
passfault -analyze password strength

I rely heavily on Password Safe. All you'd need is to remember one excellent password. Then I use it to generate a different password for all my important websites.

Password Safe
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

or KeePass
http://sourceforge.net/projects/keepass/

You can also use this website to generate a good password for you

So, you give your password to this random site, and then they trace back your IP & then can get into all your stuff

No kidding. That was the first thing I thought.

I figured corporate security expert Kevin Murray probably checked it out before he blogged about it - but otherwise, I had the same thought. I've subscribed to his blog for several years and we have emailed a couple times - he's legit, and he's careful.

FWIW if this helps, none of the ASFN Mods/Admins can see passwords. They are encrypted when you join or change it

just make it password1 and give everyone your username

I guess I'm doing all right. Of course, that is for a variant of a 20 character password I use for a classified system at work after I have already inserted a smart card.

My password on here can allegedly be cracked in one day. Have at it...
