Over the years the importance of strong passwords has grown immensely; this development was mainly initiated by the Internet and various security applications. A lot of websites force us to choose passwords in order to identify us, and security programs require passwords to encrypt our sensitive data. Weak passwords, such as simple words or phrases, can mostly be broken without much effort; in the worst case, they can even be guessed by persons who are acquainted with our hobbies and preferences. As a password is integral to the security of our data, it is very important to use a good password; such passwords consist of purely random characters and are long enough to foil brute force attacks. Unfortunately, these random sequences are fairly hard to memorize. But this is the crucial point: You have to consider what is more important for you: Memorizing a difficult password and having great security--or making up a simple password at the expense of less security. Password safes are an exceedingly useful invention. They protect all your passwords with a single high-security password. By using it, you can take advantage of having to memorize only one password. If you have become interested in those applications, take a look at Password Safe. Like PWGen, it's free and easy to use. I highly recommend its usage! Well, if you have decided in favour of security now, I suggest you try PWGen out, the ultimate password generator satisfying the highest security requirements. It creates passwords with lengths up to 2048 bits that you can also save as binary key file or discs for encryption purposes, without leaving any traces. It seems that you've been always searching for something like that, haven't you?
