Comment Password Programs and Patterned Passwords (Score 1) 674

I use two schemes to help me out. First, I use Whisper to store my passwords. It's fairly secure, requiring a password to access, though I suppose it can be opened using various attacks on the MS Access database file password storage. Second, I use the password generator in Whisper to create patterned passwords. My employer requires 10-digit passwords with at least one number and a combination of upper and lower case. From Whisper, I use the pattern cvcvcvcV## ("c"onsonent, "v"owel, capital "V"owel and two numerals). This gives me a password which is easy to remember because it can be pronounced. Alternating consonents and vowels generally makes a pseudo-word, for example: romabuL45. You can "say" this better than qt1l#Gikx at least in my opinion.
