Security: Ultra High Security And Unique Passwords

April 17, 2008 in tools wordpress

Most passwords have a length of 6 to 12 characters. They are kind of safe, but a hacker has tools to get them cracked. So it is even more and more important to have a password which is really unique and can not be displayed a second time. GRC, Gibson Research Corporation, has developed a generator which is generating long, high-quality random passwords. So here is some totally random raw material, generated just for YOU, to start with. In newer wordpress versions such a unique key can be put into the wp-config.php. It will make your blog a safe it can be.

What makes these perfect and safe?

Every one is completely random (maximum entropy) without any pattern, and the cryptographically-strong pseudo random number generator we use guarantees that no similar strings will ever be produced again.

Also, because this page will only allow itself to be displayed over a snoop-proof and proxy-proof high-security SSL connection, and it is marked as having expired back in 1999, this page which was custom generated just now for you will not be cached or visible to anyone else.

Therefore, these password strings are just for you. No one else can ever see them or get them. You may safely take these strings as they are, or use chunks from several to build your own if you prefer, or do whatever you want with them. Each set displayed are totally, uniquely yours — forever.

The “Application Notes” section below discusses various aspects of using these random passwords for locking down wireless WEP and WPA networks, for use as VPN shared secrets, as well as for other purposes.
