WolframAlpha can generate strong passwords

InfoSecEdward Kiledjian

With all the hacking reports we saw in 2012, I hope all of you understand how important it is to generate a strong and unique password for each of the online services you use. You can create a strong password yourself or you can use one of my favorite websites, WolframAplha, to create one for you.

Go to Wolfram Alpha

In the query box, enter Generate Password

Click on the first option and press enter

It then generates an 8 character strong password

If you want a longer password, click on this box and change the number from 8 to whatever you want

And then press the little orange execute box on the right hand side

It will now generate a new password with the requested length

This is another way I could use my favorite computational engine.
