Password Generator
Today I had my first Laptop Orientation session for this year. I used a new program called Password Bird to help my students think of strong passwords for their accounts. Most of the students come to sessions with very weak passwords and I encourage them to create 8 character passwords using letters, numbers and caps. I always have several students who find this task difficult. We used Password Bird today and it generated some really helpful passwords. Most other password generators I have used create random passwords that I have trouble remembering. If the first password doesn't work ask for another, or another. After several tries we found one that was strong and easy to remember.
