Special Forums Cybersecurity swordfish --- a password generator Post 302522095 by GSO on Friday 13th of May 2011 10:07:57 AM

If I could make a quick feature request - to be able to copy a password to the clipboard (pref. plain X11) instead of outputing otherwise (I've had a quick look for a way to do this to no avail). Also a util to securely erase a file a password was output to would be complimentary.

This was an interesting article, The Usability of Passwords. It appears a short phrase of (near) normal English is as secure as 8 or so mixed symbols/chars.

Myself I'm still trying to figure how I'm getting incidents of MITM style data injection over a SSL vpn to a https webpage! (I can't do any more to make the physical machine itself more secure either - so I am assuming this is not the problem, and I'm not running any dodgy software otherwise.)
