I was shown Password Corrall many years ago, and I've used it ever since. An excellent tool. Yes, like all software, there are risks in using it, but a bit of common sense and a regular back-up of the encrypted associated file mitigates that to an accetable level. And it is far better than relying on memory or mnemonics! Oh, and it's free. |

If the organizations that require passwords, and who doesn't any more, would give you three tries and then lock your account for a minute or two, hacking passwords wouldn't be a problem. It would take way too long. EDITOR'S NOTE: As I mentioned in my article, that's not how they crack passwords. See the link I provided on that. |

I went to the Password Strength Checker you had mentioned and it would take 3 million years to crack my weakest password. I think that my passwords are, for the time being, safe from h@ckers. :-) |
