Secure Password Generator

During the course of my work I frequently set or sign up for accounts on a variety of sites. Its a good practice to vary your passwords and make them hard enough so that hackers and other scrupulous people will find it impossible to break them.


Here are a few simple rules when making passwords:
  • Use tools that automatically generate random passwords.
  • Use alphanumeric characters and unique symbols to create stronger passwords.
  • Instead of mnemonics, try a pass-phrase.
  • Change passwords periodically.
  • Avoid generating passwords using personal information.
For convenience, you can also try this online password generator.
