SuperGenPass
I was listening to the latest TWIT podcast and they had mentioned a pretty cool application. It is the Zarate Labs Password Generator. This thing is a bookmarklet which resides on your browser to help you maintain your passwords. You basically right click on the bookmarklet link and save it as a Favorite or Bookmark (depending on which browser you’re using). When you are adding or updating a website’s password and before you change the password, you would go to that Favorite or Bookmark. This will bring up a pop-up. Just enter you new password phrase and have that generate the new 7 character password.
So what’s so great about this application? This basically allows you to create a new “hardened” password based off of a simple word. This will allow you to use a public machine without any worries of people knowing what the real password is (just remember to delete the bookmarklet when you’re done). You can change your password as much as possible. Hackers won’t be able to run a program against a dictionary if you have a password that contains words. It works on both Macs and PCs. I even added this to my links page.
