One of the coolest things on the net that I know of right now is something called a “bookmarklet.” A bookmarklet is generally a web-link that you “drag” to the “bookmark toolbar” of your browser. I’m not sure how well it works in Internet Explorer, because I have long sinse left IE in the dust. Anyway, with this bookmarklet below, you can easily generate a new random password for each site you visit.
Here are a few links to some automatic password generators:
The most popular one is described here:
The actual bookmarklet is here:
- Generate Password You can drag it to your browser’s bookmark list or button bar to keep it handy.
For exactly the same interface, but using only a site’s domain name (i.e. mikels.cc instead of pastorjeff.mikels.cc), use this one:
- genpass. That one is from Chris Zarate.
The best looking and most customizable is found here:
The actual bookmarklet is here:
- Password Generator
Again, just drag it to your bookmark or button bar.
Note that as these get more popular and as more people use these same two password generators, the security of your password decreases, so still take care.
