RE: How to avoid the '500 worst passwords of all time'
There are several excellent "password safes" available freely as "open
source" programs, "Password Safe" is an excellent product, as well as
is "Keepass". Of course if you've got money to burn, then price is no
object. ;}) seriously these keep all your passwords and personal
information concerning them under full encryption, so if you should
lose your USB drive, your passwords remain safe from prying eyes.
Each product contains a Randomly produced password of any strength that
you might require, with Password Safe that upper limit is 300 bit
passwords. I gave up trying to create and maintain passwords in my head
a couple of years ago thanks to Password Safe. It is secured with a
single randomly generated password, that I occasionally change.
