That said, WPA2 and a longish password seems good enough for me.
You can go to www.grc.com and generate passwords like this:
ANOFn]FCzpaKAJ%A,P)XiQ*]e{kMz"xvgiltX0aWWAYI)Of,3X:W6z`cy.zukU/
Try guessing that one. ;-)
KDE users don't need to go off-site to generate passwords of arbitrary length. There is an on-screen applets with KDE4 "Random password generator", with a couple of options: special characters and all lower-case, just in case you meet oddball sites that can't handle upper-case or special characters. Truth be told there are many sites like that! You can set the length of the password. Most site I try for 16 characters and many baulk at that! I just tried setting it to 63 and this is what I got; ]?$d<`<^FyySDg~p263!I_Q/6jkn^K36QK/;UQXSuk4MwI/wCFiAGvgw]}b]K0 and again SnZ!qN]QUY,jK9Cf,b;rsMn((88=2yKy:<3-}ky89q=p*]WvP!J%2p'd'tP|*)Z Surely there's a similar tool for Gnome/LXDE/xfce and even e16 users? If you prefere CLI, there is $ openssl rand -base64 63 and example output WVaYjqo2Be8iBmIw53mtPytR45ZRSG1AEjr4mS7WLW7b/C1Cn2kPZqCOtqZfLhpz pXhal+CN9b8lGL/UpCZ/ Of course you could use $ xscreensaver-getimage-file --name --nocache and feed that file though some hash generator. point it at a big directory of images or a tree of your photogrpahs! And hash that ... $ openssl passwd -apr1 \ -in /home/anton/Photographs/$(xscreensaver-getimage-file \ --name --no-cache /home/anton/Photographs/) $apr1$vyAPOM0m$QUr604ES6YXtPmvnwW3AE1 Although that's 37 character and always begins with "$apr1$". So, just 32. Take 2 and string them together! HMMMM There are many other such ways of LOCALLY producing strong (for various interpretations of the terms 'strong') password strings. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
