			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Security is a big deal today. It seems like everyday when you turn on the news, you hear about a team of hackers breaking into some system, or someone&#8217;s identity getting stolen. It&#8217;s scary, but one thing you can do to help protect yourself is use strong passwords. The stronger your password is, the harder it will be for hackers to compromise your system, and the safer your private information will be.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/passwordgen1.png?570cd5" alt="create strong random password" /></p>
<p>Passwordgenerator.net makes it very easy to generate passwords that no one could crack. You can choose some basic features of the password. You can decide whether it has symbols, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and similar characters.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/passwordgen2.png?570cd5" alt="passwordsgenerator" /></p>
<p>In addition to providing the password, they also give you a phonetic way of remembering the password. They give you a bunch of common words that start with each letter of the password. Obviously, having a secure password does no good if you can&#8217;t remember it.</p>
<p>They also give some handy tips on how to avoid having your password stolen.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Easily generate highly secure passwords.</li>
<li>Choose if you want symbols, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and similar characters in the password.</li>
<li>Phonetic device to help remember new password.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, hackers hacked into the databases of various public and private organizations (Sony, MySpace, Gawker, PBS, etc) and released millions of user accounts along with associated emails and passwords. Since there are a number of different databases, it is not really viable to check them on your own and see if your account was also leaked.</p>
<p>Should I Change My Password is a useful website that was created to help you easily check if your account was among those released to the public by hackers. The site uses databases released by hackers to check and match your email against the records in those databases. Simply enter your email and click &#8220;Check it!&#8221;.</p>
<p>If your email is found among the records, you should immediately change your password to protect your account.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/119.png?570cd5" alt="password exposed " /></p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Checks if your password was compromised in recent hacker attacks (in 2011).</li>
<li>Uses a number of databases released by hackers to the public.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A truly random password is the toughest one to hack. This is precisely why there are a lot of password generating tools that generate a random password for you. Amongst these tools is an app called PicshaPass – an Android app that generates random passwords in a unique way.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/picsha-pass.jpg?570cd5" alt="generate random passwords" /></p>
<p>PicshaPass FREE is a wonderful smartphone application for Android phones. The app is free and requires Android 1.6 or later. The app generates random passwords by using SHA-256 hashes of images shot from your phone&#8217;s camera. This method results in truly random passwords because you most likely never shoot exactly the same picture twice. The generated password includes lower and upper case letters, as well as numbers and special characters; the maximum password length is 30 letters. Once the password has been generated it is automatically copied to the clipboard.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Picture based password generator.</li>
<li>Compatible with Android devices.</li>
<li>Lets you generate random passwords by using SHA-256 hashes of images.</li>
<li>Uses images shot from your phone&#8217;s camera.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Passwords need to be secure and ideally different for each website, but remembering so many passwords is not an easy task. Password Generator helps by letting you create multiple non-dictionary passwords from a single master password. Just enter your master password and the tool will generate individual passwords for you.</p>
<p><img src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/dir/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/pwd.png?570cd5" alt="generate multiple passwords" /></p>

If you ever change browsers or computers, simply enter the same master password again and the tool will create the exact same passwords. The passwords generated contain at least 1 letter and 1 number to meet password requirements for most of the sites.</p>
<p>Features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Generate multiple passwords online from one master password.</li>
<li>No need to remember individual passwords.</li>
<li>Regenerate same passwords anytime from the master password.</li>
<li>Generate as many passwords as you desire.</li>
