PassPub: Automatically generate secure passwords online
If you use and reuse the same password over and over again, or if you're not very creative when it comes to making up passwords, you might want to head on over to PassPub, a site that automatically generates strong, unique passwords for your immediate adoption. When PassPub first loads, you'll see a selection of 8 character passwords, randomly generated. You can feel free to use any of the passwords on the list; but if you want to get real creative, you can work with any of the customizable options on the sidebar.
Want something a little more memorable than GoSg8buu? You can choose a password made up of chemical elements (e.g., Ti8Ir0Bh4) or you can get mnemonic like Johnny (alternate vowels and consonants, suffixed by a 3 digit number, e.g., ZuXuFU715). There are also sections for generating WEP keys and WPA keys.
If you worry about the security risks of generating a password online, don't. No personal details are requested when using PassPub, each page generated is unique, and each page is shown from a secure server (verified by GoDaddy.com).
