@Silki, Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you found few points in this article helpful. @Emil, Easy to remember strong password is exactly what I've mentioned in "4. Use Passphrase" under the section "II. Guidelines for creating strong passwords:" in this article. @mk_michael, Thanks for mentioning this article in your blog and sending the ping back to this post. I really appreciate it. @Lisa, I have to disagree with you. Writing down password on a piece of paper is never a good idea. In my opinion, you should never write down password on a piece of paper. @Kurinchi, I developed password dragon program in Java Swing, which makes it as a multi-platform software that runs on Windows, Linux and Mac. @Flynets, Thanks for referring pwgen, gpw and passwdgen programs. They are definitely great programs to generate random password on Unix environment.

How to write a program that gets executed on Window, Linux, Unix? Is it a .exe file developed using c/c++?

As you mentioned about Password Dragon, i thought to ask you about it.

I still think it’s ok to write down a long password on a piece of paper and keep it safe. Good article though.
