Password Creator

The most popular passwords used are the names of family members, sports teams, and pets.

That's the word from the organizers of the Infosecurity Europe conference who conducted a sneaky, impromptu man-on-the-street survey in England, reports Security Pipeline.

When first asked if they would reveal their password, 37 percent did it right away.

For those who wouldn't tell immediately, the pollsters used social engineering tactics, suggesting their password was a child's name or a pet's name.

Once that discussion started, another 34 percent told their password and many even explained the origins.

Trying to find a unique password for yourself that others will not guess is not always easy.

At netthosting we have created a password generator which will help you create a unique password.

You can choose how many digits you will have in your password (we recommend 8) then press create. Try as many times as you wish until you find one which you can easily remember.
