A recent BBC news item covered password security following on from a recent security fail on a piece of web software.
BBC tech mentions a "Secure password vault" - but what's better?
Mark Hopgood, Director of Hopgood Marketing and consultancy has helped develop a one off key password generator which can be used to create a strong password, but doesn't store it anywhere, making it less vulnerable.
Here's how it works.
Firstly go to http://hopgood.eu/password
access to your email account is crucial. Make sure you have 2 step authentication or your mail provider allows you to recover by text message to your mobile phone
enter your email address and a secret word or pin - for extra security change this every month.
your unique strong passwords are displayed. Copy and use them in your fave websites, however they will only stay on screen for 20 seconds, so you will have to remember your email / PIN combination.
You can copy paste your passwords if you need to.
happy using the password generator at
