Another password generator suggestion: I'm 79 and memory isn't what it used to be, so I find those "secure" passwords generated by computers to be less than optimal. I use a system that I claim can't be hacked by a dictionary search and almost certainly not by guessing, but will be easy to remember: Think of a line or two from a relatively obscure play or poem or song that you like. A while back, a woman I needed a pw for used lines from an aria in one of Mozart's operas -- in Italian. Just take the first letters of the words, case included, and all the punctuation and stuff, and that's your pw. You may need to add a few numerals to make the bank's pw checker happy. When you want to use it, run the line(s) through your mind, and you remember the pw. If anyone on this list knows why that won't work, I'd sure appreciate knowing about it... -- Glenn English -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: ProtonMail wsBzBAEBCAAGBQJiSgwMACEJEJ/XhjGCrIwyFiEELKJzD0JScCVjQA2Xn9eG MYKsjDKbiwgAkbU//9+29tyueQIijF1RNtvEI/nJ5a0NCevcWPCH8kWPiGwZ Cu50MABhNUJzoI1QWxZmJtDH4CzDhM6JHTVScPzmkT8byU4yXlMieN7mK4K4 blPuqcQa2Z00CIaIK7Hs9ggQmYby9pVG12HLlN0gie7v2yE5Uy8DXI7mzVNg GAXKcWDZ+2rxkoW8bei1L5VR2tSLyJIQKIyyw7/5P2RxOEOe7AqvegcrNmhT gPN3t4c85x/XxdMDWkbe07AkXFsWyj7jasM4ZDcV9YuJ3wvNNDeV7E+kVbtC etKGWXtK3Oi9AmUQrff7hkzGTki7XjfW58mYqNr+Vjm6VLyeLlpPSg== =duP4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
