Generate a Strong Password using the Password Chart
I think I came across one of the best strong password generators on the Internet at Password Chart. Picking a strong password is very important. A strong and secure password should go beyond just a simple number such as passw0rd where you replace the o with a zero(0) or a special character in the end such as password!. However, when you have to go picking numbers, special characters for a strong password of more than 7 characters, it can become hard to remember such a strong password.
For using the password chart, enter any common phrase you might use or known to you. For example, I used the phrase “the ipod rocks“. Now, using this phrase, the password chart generates a chart for you. If you are online, you can enter a password you wish to convert using this chart. You can enter a simple word or words here. For example, I used the word “zune” as a password I wished to convert to generate a strong password. I end up with a strong password of “%^Ed8u63G“. Once you generate a password chart, you can also print it out and use it for generating other strong passwords without the need to access the internet.

Technical Information. How the Password Chart Generator works
1. An MD5 hash of the chart selection phrase is performed and the first 4 bytes of the hash is used as a random number seed to a Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator.
2. The password chart is then filled using sequences of 1 to 3 random upper and lower case letters and optionally numbers and punctuation by grabbing successive numbers generated from the Twister. The reason for the random sequence length is to make reversing the substitution cipher a bit harder.
3. The alphanumeric characters in the password is then converted using the chart.

I am fed up with all these alledged wins I have won in the UK, Austrailia, Netherlands, Holland, ect. I don’t even understand how they got my email address when I’ve NEVER entered a lottery on-line. You said you were scammed on the Microsoft lottery. If MS.Mcdonald(name?) is a real corporate employee of Microsoft, how did you make them aware that their names/company are being used in a dangerous internet scam? Did you ever receive any money? Let me guess. They told you that you had to pay 5% in insurance to insure a courier to deliver your winnings because it was an international lottery? Right? I hope you didn’t pay a cent. There is no such law!! The lottery/sweepstakes companies are SOLEY responsibel for all insured deliverie which are sums over $100,000. I called the FBI and Homeland Security about these internet scams as well as a lot of very annoying calls to my home claiming I have won different sums of money. These a——s have the audacity to claim they are police officers, mainly from Albany,NY., Border Patrol Officers but as soon as you ask them for a badge number, being someone who dated a police officer, they give a total bogus number and when you ask them for a number to get back with them after you check their info out, you immediately get hung up on. Now I don’t have the patience and despise how many people have lost their life savings and tons of money by being duped by these very adapt con-artists. The FBI and Homeland Security officers I have been cooperating with have said that this is a huge ring of very well organized, adept at evading law enforcement, and the most convincing, manipulative group they have seen. So far the last I spoke to the agent I cooperate with they had made 39 arrests which is great, but the agent also said it can be very discouraging because there are literally hundreds of them. There suggestions have been to try and get an interview on your local television networks because the more people hear about it and can put an actual victim’s face to it the more headway they will make in illiminating more victims and these dispicable people’s way of using others for their income. Also call Phone Busters about every email/US mail you receive from these B—–ds! Their number is 1-888-495-8501. They are the ones that work law enforcement agencies so that these agents do not get an influx of calls from people/victims. They weed out what is relevent to helping the law enforcement agencies and what is not going to help in their investigation. I have called them every time I receive a letter/email. They are very helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. I hope you can somehow make this public knowledge since you have a website and I don’t.
God Bless,
