Online Security

I need to manage passwords more securely. I'd decided tonight to start switching over to passwords generated randomly from word list. Here's a useful online implementation of such a thing. I used it to create passwords for a couple of things I had to sign up for today. www.rempe.us

Reading a bit more on the topic, I think I'm doing one better. I'm going to use KeePassX, an open-source and GNU licensed password database manager. It creates randomized strings of characters for use as passwords and protects them behind a master password that I can generate via Diceware. It's about time I started doing something like that.

And now, I should get to bed.
