We all know that your software provider will tell you to adopt ridiculous practises to keep passwords secure. They will say:
Don’t write your password down.
Passwords should not use a word from a dictionary/encyclopaedia.
Passwords should include letters, numeric data and punctuation marks.
Maybe you should capitalize some of the letters.
If you have a lot of passwords this can be difficult.
So we thought that if you could remember two pieces of data and these two pieces of data could make you passwords secure, recoverable and easy to change. This data would be:
Your suggested password.
A title header is from a text file. The text from this file will be used by our software to extract a password.
With these two pieces of information we can extract a new password from the text file that you import. It will always be extracted from exactly the same position in a text file so your password is recoverable. It will result in a new ‘post modification password’ which you will then use to gain access to numerous databases and systems.
The PasswordXML software
When you first operate this software you will receive the following message:
This application uses an imported text file to change your suggested password to a post modification password. There is no text file so you will have to import one. The application wants a .txt file.
The ‘OK’ button the following screen appears:
Import New Text will open the import file form. After completion the imported file will show underneath the button.
Upon closure the following screen will appear:
From the Combo Box you select ‘Live’ and the following screen appears:
Username is name given to this address.
Suggested Password is your suggestion of the password.
Post Modification Password is the suggested password after it has been though the modification process.
Selecting ‘View’ or ‘Renew’ and the following screen appears:
Username can be modified.
Suggested Password is a Combo Box of your suggestion password. You can add a new suggested password.
Modify Password When this button is selected the application takes the suggested password (firebox18) and will goes to a fixed position of the imported file and extracts a post modification password (opersLaneB).
Copy will copy the post modification password to the clipboard.
Add button and the following screen appears:
This form shows you the current password and the new password and gives you the choice regarding which one to accept into your database.
This makes changing your password simple. Remember you can still keep the suggested password, just import another text file (The menu on ‘Username and Password’ form has an option to ‘Change Imported Text’) and it is done, you don’t have to think of a new password because the resulting ‘post modification password’ will be different. The password is secure and even recoverable.
