I came across this handy little Password Chart today. It’s a decoder for strong passwords into simple ones. Actually it is kind of the opposite of that.
You enter into a field on the site a phrase or word and a matrix of random letters (Caps and lower case) and numbers appears. You can then use these the matrix to code out your simple password.
If I use the phrase “I can never remember my password” then I get this matrix:
I can then use the chart to take a simple password and convert it to a strong password.
Example: “password” gets converted to “gvaGwtJJimmgSFysb“
I don’t even have to use the matrix to match up letters to the new code (p = gva); there is a field on the same page for me to enter in my simple password to convert it to the strong password.
The site can then be accessed where ever I go or I can print out the page and carry the matrix with me. What could be “JNqmgvaREicYcgSF” than that?
