Another good option is Sticky Password manager. It works also with applications and it is integrated right into the browser or window.

i might also add that while generating passwords at psychcentral, there is no place explaining your rules in pw creation. for instance i don’t know the maximum password length nor do i know if punctuation is allowed nor do i know if these psychcentral pws are case sensitive. this simple information can allow users to generate much stronger encryption to their new passwords.

i don’t consider my psychcentral password a high risk target because there are no funds connected to it. but i do think it is essential that you teach your consumers to use DIFFERENT passwords at unique sites. consumers who take a lot of meds try to use something similar which he can remember. but an unscrupulous worker at a free site might try to use that password and ID at a banking site with some success. that’s the problem here.
and since DocJohn runs psychcentral, he can force users to change their password every six months. he can also have a front-end to a pwgen program right at the pc website. if a new pw is not done every six months. a newly generated pw should be mailed to the consumer on the seventh month.

I thought this was obvious stuff and then I read the part about not using the same user name or part of it in your password. Guilty as charged. Thanks for the advice!

I use a program called 1Password and it makes unique passwords for every website, bank account, etc. I don’t even know what they are, but only have to remember one password to use all of them. I never use the secret password for anything but accessing the rest. It integrates into my browser, so it automatically logs me into every account that I use.

Another good method is to make up an acrostic. Example: (don’t use this) “My Very Educated Mother Just Showed Us Nine [Planets]!” for what used to be the solar system. “Mvemjsu9p!” would be a somewhat decent password, and it would be easy to remember because all you’d have to do would be to repeat the phrase back to yourself.
