Add a CommentI store passwords in the os x keychain application manually. The password to access that is only in my brain, is at least 15 characters long, usually a long acronym, with some of the letters replaced with symbols.
Good to see ya Dan! Still in Chicago?
I like the OS X Keychain, but I find myself needing my passwords when I'm not at my machine and it's not accessible, so keep my GPG encrypted list stashed away in various places that I can get to remotely.
I was just thinking how an on-line strong password generator could be used to build an attacking dictionary for each referring link.
Not sure I follow, but maybe I do.
So, I setup an on-line password generator site for people to use, then keep track of the remote IP of the requester, as well as the list of crazy-random password suggestions for that requester, and then use those passwords in an attack against the requester. That'd be somewhat diabolical!
I was thinking of the referring URL.
The lack of https and a valid certificate would also put me off.
