How often do you get to a website and want to download something, buy something, play a game or access some information, and find you need to create a login and password to access what you want.  Creating a login for yourself is usually pretty easy, but coming up with a good password is not.  If you are like most people, you just use the same password for everything, which is not a good idea.

At Ewert Technologies, we have just a released a new iPhone®/iPod® App, called iPwdGen, which will help you to create strong and secure passwords.  With this App, you can create passwords with lengths from 4 to 25 characters.  You can also configure the App so that the passwords contain:

• Numbers Only
• Letters and Numbers
• Letters Only
• Upper Case Letters Only
• Lower Case Letters Only
• Mixed Case Letters
• Special Characters (e.g. !, $ etc.)

In addition, iPwdGen will rate the strength of your password, giving you an idea if the password you plan to use is acceptable or not.

Check out iPwdGen on iTunes App Store.

Once you have created a strong password, you need to be able to remember it.  Using a Password Manager can help with that.  Password Managers organize and store all of your password in one secure place.  If you are looking for a Password Manager, give PWMinder a try.  It is available as a desktop application for Windows, Mac OS/X, and Linux; and a mobile application for BlackBerry® (mobile versions for iPhone® and Android® will be available soon).
