Well, it’s that time again– time to change all my web passwords.

I used a random generator for six characters, with a two character prefix decided on by the name of the web site, and a two character suffix that was random, but constant. I used Steve Gibson’s password generator to get the six character string. Ten case-sensitive, alpha-numeric characters now make up my password. That’s two more than my last password!

The only problem is that I can’t possibly remember all the passwords now. Well, maybe I can eventually, but it would take time. Thankfully, I just use Safari’s password feature, which pulls my web passwords from my Keychain (Mac). I just have to enter them once.
