Memory Tools for Password Management? 125
New Media Blogger asks: "A co-worker of mine recently got burned hard because they used the same password for all of their online accounts. This experience led me to compile a list of easy-to-use password management memory tools (all free, of course), which make it infinitely easier for me to keep track of my dozens of passwords. I am sure many of the Slashdot crowd have memory tools of their own — what are you favourite password memorization tools?"

I invented this super hard-to-crack encryption routine
called ROT26x(tm). There are other off-springs in the
multiples of its own 26 bits (52, 78, 104...etc).
The cool part of it is that once you encrypt your stuff,
it is soo hard to crack, because the outcome looks exactly
like the original text you encrypted!
The larger the multiples, the more its difficult to
crack (disclaimer:higher bits will be very cpu-intensive,
and will take longer to encrypt)
if anybody wants to help write up an RFC...

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, you should change your password!

My system is similar, yet much easier. The first portion of my password is the name of the computer or service I'm connecting to, while the second half is a random string that only I know. Which string I use depends on what group of people I need to share the account with--in such cases where an account needs to be shared. Otherwise, I have my own string.
The downside, is that if someone were to sniff one of my passwords, and if they're familiar with my system, they could then guess the passwords to most of my accounts. Which is why I change that suffix relatively frequently. The upside, of course, is that I have a different password for every single computer and service I log into.

Certainly. So download the source code and memorize the algorithm. Then you can do the hash in your head.Re:Hiding (Score:3, Funny)
