Password Creator recommendations?

[franky1]

i imagine a future where people use bitcoin addresses for access..

put it this way. you tell a service a PUBLIC address you own.. and when you log in it displays a random message that changes every time. the service asks you to sign that random message with your PRIVATE key.

the service then verifies identity using the public key. and because no one else has that private key.. no one else would be able to successfully sign a random message that corresponds to the public key.

the service cannot be brute forced as the login message changes which means that with the decades of trying to keygen the right privkey, along with the timeout of the random message. and the entropy of the message, makes it impossible to 'guess' the password.

Nothing beats your memory... but if that fails, use a piece of paper with a formula only you would understand. Store the formula in a vault and only retrieve it, if you forgot it.

I never use the same password for every site, but I use a combination of this formula to create a unique password for every service. It has worked for me for many years now, and

I never forget the formula. I will never trust ANY online password manager or creator.... Put the trust in your own hands... not in the unknown.  

This

I do not trust any software to do the password management since they all can be hacked some day. A unique pattern that only I knows will be used to construct a long password

The most important is that the password should resist reverse-engineering, means even if some hacker get one of your password, he could not identify the pattern used to construct it, thus your other account will not be compromised. A portable hash tool will be very handy, it does not have connectivity, just hash

create it yourself and store it on a a4 paper, it's better than any other digital password

i have a a4 paper with all my password there, and no hacker can steal them ever...

Not a good idea though, as you need to put that paper very safe and secure at some place where it might not get teared up, don't get wet, etc...
The best way I feel is, have a USB drive on which you will only put your passwords, just lock it with a strong password and put it in a safe place...

I suggest to use iPassword Generator http://www.passwordsgenerator.net/iPassword/. Im using it for a long time. You can pick a file to generate the password. I use google docsheet to keep website and username info but only I know the master key and the file.
So whenever I need to change password , I only change the (key)file.

though nothing beats your memory. but...
use a SHA hasher inline with your memory

that way it adds entropy.
EG 'apple pear banana 69 69'
becomes:
8e644805af6f009e83cb5cbc5d8dbfb77298cd69d3f4acf5bed70457b553e054

so just remembering 5 items, gives you 64 characters that you dont have to remember, far better then the 20 characters of your memorized words

an example is
http://www.xorbin.com/tools/sha256-hash-calculator
but its best you find an offline tool so that your not reliant on a online service that may change its parameters or just goes offline without notice

That's a good idea in theory, but in reality some websites ask for passwords that include special characters, and both upper and lower case letters. Some websites restrict the length of the password you are allowed to less than 64 characters. Your SHA hasher password would only work for websites without any of those password restrictions.

I think combination of your birth date your sister or brothers birth date and your mother or brother birthdate plus you birthdate is a recommended password to dont forgot the passwords.. I was use this kind of combination. and now still not forgot my password... and very secured...
Using a third party application is not good because maybe there some script from a 3rd party application that recording your all password and send it to server or owner of the third party application..

why don't you try this password manager

http://www.roboform.com/

I used it for a few years and found it good..a few months back it had some plugin compatibility issues with chrome..
so now i don't use it much .......but i still have around hundred passwords and usernames saved in it and i occasionally use it when i need them...it uses cloud storage which means u can access it from anywhere
and it also has a password generator
it works good for me...............
 
buy it if u want to have a genuine ....or simply download it from torrent

You take a simple dictionary, English, your country's language, or whatever else. You take a pen and you stick a pen into a dictionary 15 times to have 15 different and random words. Even 12 is enough but you do it 15 times just to be sure.

You write these words down in order and on few pieces of paper and you store it in few places. There you go, you have as random and as secure password as you can ever create!

Just set every password on every device to "admin".
Its easy to remember and you don't have to bother with lifting up floorboards with a clawhammer under the garden shed a few doors away to find that little purple book full of passwords written backwards in cryllic with a two-wheel base-58 custom enigma encryption.  Damn, what should the starting position of those two wheels be?  how about 00.

I use Roboform Pro for over 10 years now and I'm very content with them.
Never had any problem with passwords until now

Password Depot - Password Manager (Windows)

It has a tray icon right click option for creating a password quickly.
All i do is click on that and hit generate and hit the copy button.
Save it in the program itself or where ever..

A nice thing about it is you can export your passwords to another format
and then import it into the Free Android App version.

http://www.password-depot.com/overview.htm

I should mention it integrates into Chrome, IE, Firefox.
But i disable the browser plugin and just manually copy the passwords out
or i hit the auto complete button.

it's also available as a Trial version for free or You can buy it.
I pirated it and use a Full version Key i found online for the previous version 7.xx
Although newer versions are on build ver. 8.xx
Usually new versions are for updating the browser plugins for each new browser that gets put out.
And i chose this program because it updates them waaaay faster than Kaspersky's (which i had tried first)

So yeah it has flexibility in how you want to use it and the mobile version is 100% free.
The create password menu page is cool too.. easy or advanced.. it's just right for what ever ya want (novice or pro)
And no i don't work for them i shill for free LOL

[bileq]

1password easy to use with firefox extension

[Blaze.]

Its best not to use password creators if you ask me. Those passwords could be stored and used for nefarious purposes.

[dragansk1]

I think your mind is the best password generator. In your password try to use numbers, characters and specials characters in combination

[ricardobs]

Use SHA256 kind of algorithm for creating your passwords. Being a average Joe I'm not fully aware of SHA-256 algorithms. But still I believe it will give more strength to your passwords and you can find more safety with a strong password online always.

[Ctn]

Use always numbers letter + 1 key if possible. (like -_+ etc)
Use also caps lock, never type word to simple and try to keep it secure

[Darlesmole]

Just googling the word password creator would give you some suggestions.
