Hi :)
Wow, so i stumbled on a weak form of something that could be used to generate 
very strong passwords.  I don't take it quite so far for forums and such-like.
Regards from
Tom :)

Ahh, i have 3 usernames with 1 being my top preference and the other 2 only
if
i'm not allowed to use my favourite one.  Then i generate passwords from a
fairly simple  algorithm applied to the website's name.  Where i need
greater
security i just extend that algorithm.


So, even without writing down a list of passwords i can usually work out
what my
password probably was - which is useful since i am not always at the same
location.  Writing the passwords and usernames in a text-file can be useful
but
then it's tricky trying to give it a good name and hiding it's location so
that
only you can access it easily.
