I dislike APG because it generates passwords difficult to remember - without aiding in how to deal with that, which has a high risk of passwords getting stored on physical notes in the top drawer... For strong yet rememberable passwords, I recommend this: xkcdpass More information: https://lwn.net/Articles/713806/ (yes, above aricle also references the XKCD cartoon!) For non-rememberable passwords, I recommend this: pass More information: https://lwn.net/Articles/714473/ There are several other tools similar to the above. I recommend to read above referenced articles if in doubt! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
