Passwords by Mask

When registering any account on the Internet (e.mail address, forum members .), we are often required to set a password to be able to verify who is the owner of that account.

And because passwords are so important, most users who are asked to set a password often have the same concern, which is to create a password. safe?

There are many ideas raised to answer this question and we can summarize as follows: It is not advisable to use first name, year of birth, house number, phone number . in general Personal information and information about your family as a password, which should be set as a string of letters including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special symbols on the keyboard. along with the special symbols obtained when we press the combination of the Alt key and the numbers on the numeric keypad. At the same time this string must be arranged in a very random sequence. In case you want to use personal information, such as using your lover's name as a password, do not keep the name as a password, but have to change it in a way that is hard to recognize. For example, short, reverse, change the letter O in the name to 0, the letter I into 1 .

In short, combine a variety of ways to create a string of characters that few people can guess beyond you to make a password 'inventory'. But creating a password that meets the above-mentioned requirements also causes many people to 'have a headache'. If you really want to create a slightly secure password but find it difficult to think of a random string as a password, then use Passwords by Mask 1.88 to try it out. . With Passwords by Mask 1.88, you don't need to squeeze your head to think of passwords that are hard to guess, but with a few clicks, the program will generate random strings of letters including uppercase, lowercase, and numbers and special characters for you to choose as a password.

After installation, please start the program.

In the main interface of the program, you will see the Password Length text box is 20 by default, this is the maximum length of the password string that the program will create for you. If you want to create a password shorter than 20 characters, then please edit it in the Password Length box. Then at the top you will see there are cells arranged in order from Key 1 to Key 20. Each of these cells respectively corresponds to each character in the password string that the program will create (Key box 1 corresponds to the first character in the password, Key 2 corresponds to the second character in the password .). The function of these cells is to set the range of characters to be created. The program will rely on the range you specified to generate random characters within that range.

Click the Change button in each cell from Key 1 to Key 20, a Select Symbol dialog box will appear, including 4 ranges for you to choose:

- Capital Letter : 26 capital letters (characters from A to Z).

- Small Letter : 26 lowercase letters (characters from A to Z).

- Number : numbers from 0 to 9.

- Special Symbol : special characters (like! @% * $ .).

In my opinion, you should choose to sum all the mentioned ranges. Because when you choose that, the password that the Passwords by Mask program will create is the most randomly arranged string that is difficult to guess. If you want to create multiple passwords at the same time, write the number of passwords to create in the Password Quantily box (according to the program manufacturer's recommendation, the user can create 2,500 passwords at the same time, but in the user version, If tried, the program only allows you to create up to 2 passwords at a time). If you want the program to automatically back up the created password to the cache so you can put it in another place, select the Autoocopy to Clipboard box, then click the Generate Password button to start the program. work. You can repeatedly press the Generate Password button until you feel the string is created to your liking, then stop. If you have the checkbox for Autocopy to Clipboard , now just use Ctrl + V to 'paste' the password where you want to 'paste'. In addition, you can also go to File -> Save to save the newly created password to a text file.

Note: In the trial version of the Passwords by Mask program, there is a little annoying, that is when you press the Generate Password button, a message box will appear telling you that you can only create up to 2 password string at the same time, please click OK in this dialog to continue your work.
