Hi :) Lol. NO. ;) lol. That would give you all my passwords for everything!
Ok, the simple one is something like 1. take the website name and reverse it 2. add 1 to each character so that a becomes b, b becomes c etc 3. replace certain letters with special characters where possible, eg L might always be ; (the key next to it or m becomes < or something Some sites don't allow special characters so i tend to have a "simpler" version where letters become numbers for places such as ZdNet. That sort of thing. So just decide on the rules you are going to use and keep that a secret. Then you can generate your password for each site quite easily. The trick is to avoid making your rules tooo complicated! You have to be able to apply it easily without using pen&paper or leaving a trace of how you calculated the password. So it has to be easy to remember but difficult for other people to guess at :) Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: soumalya ray <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Tom Davies <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, 4 September, 2011 14:47:33 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Frame Border could you plz share the algorithm,if possible?
