One of the best ways to protect your online identity is to create strong passwords containing unique characters. Sometimes it’s difficult to think of new strong passwords. When you’re having a mental block thinking up a new password try PassCreator. PassCreator is a free service that helps you create a strong password. To use PassCreator just select the attributes you want your password to have (number of characters, character type, etc.) then press “create.” If you don’t like the password created for you, just press “create” again to generate another password.
Applications for Education
If your students are having trouble coming up with secure passwords, have them try PassCreator. In my experience it’s often teachers that have weak passwords (using the default “HelpDesk” or “ABC123” password given to you is a bad idea). If you’re in charge of distributing laptops or tablets to the faculty at your school, have teachers try PassCreator to generate a strong password.
