I'll flog a little program that I have just started using, relevant here because one of it's functions includes the generation of a random password. You can config the resultant password to be one or many of UPPER/lower/numeric/symbol and of a specified length.

The proggie itself is a secure password-repository database and the random pw generator is a 'feature'. I've recently taken to using it because I otherwise found myself with too many website logins, yahoo ID's, list subscriptions, login ID's that required a password and I was tending to use the same one.

Good program. It is the result of work done by the counterpane folks (security guru Bruce Schneier & Counterpane Labs).

Blurb:

Password Safe is a password database utility. Users can keep their passwords securely encrypted on their computers. A single Safe Combination unlocks them all.

Hi folks,
I'd like to set a very difficult password for my Bering-uClibc 2.1-rc1 box
(for obvious reasons), and I'm open to suggestions. :-)

I "think" (unless I've overlooked something) that I'm limited to an 8
character password, but are there any unusual and/or obscure keyboard
combinations I could use to create a very difficult password???

Thank you,
Craig
