How to Organise Passwords [Top Secret Password Generator]

Help! How to organise passwords when you've got over 100 of them? Can you relate to this dilemma? I don't know about you but I came to the realisation recently that I have over 1,000 passwords. Some of them I use regularly (daily, weekly or monthly). While others are used less frequently. Depending on your age you'll probably remember a time when online banking meant logging into a website. Then came banking via mobile apps which meant logging into your bank account via a laptop less frequent. If you suffer from password overwhelm these concerns or reactions may sound familiar. You cringe whenever you need to create a new account because it means yet another password to remember. The words personal identity theft gives you heart palpitations. There are sticky notes, text files, scraps of paper and grey matter oozing from your brain filled with passwords. Your brain yearns for a way to organise all these passwords so that you can be relieved of the password burden. In this post, you'll learn the best way to finally put an end to the password mess and weak passwords. As well as the top-secret place to get truckloads of passwords so you will not need to invent a new password again. The History of Passwords If you are a regular reader of this blog, you'll know that I cannot help but look at the history of things. Did you know that passwords also have a history? The inventor of the humble digital password is Dr Fernando Corbato. He created a piece of software during the 1950s to help people timeshare on a single computer called Compatible Time-Sharing System (CTSS). In order for many people to securely use that one computer, they needed a password or passcode. Back in those days computers were huge and could not be moved around like laptops. Because of this clever invention, he received the AM Turing Award in 1990. Dr Corbato passed away a few short years ago in 2019 at the age of 93. One big lesson you can learn from this experience is that inventors seem to live well into their 90s so go out and invent something. Lol!! (joke). How to Generate 100s of Unique Passwords in Seconds As I mentioned previously one of the most stressful occasions weekly or monthly is when you are prompted to create new online accounts. Thankfully there are a number of software platforms where a password is not required. One such platform is SteamYard. You simply enter your email address and they send you a link to log in. For everything else, in this new digital life, you'll need login credentials, a password or security pin or both to log in. A few years ago I got so tired of finding new ways to generate strong passwords. That is until I remembered another Irish inventor. His name is Mads Haahr and he is a doctor and professor at Trinity College in Ireland. You can find his inventions on the random.org website which was created in 1997. What's cool about his invention is that he has a program to create a big list of random secure passwords for anyone. This service is free of charge. When you arrive at the site just head over to the passw...
