is a quality random password generator with mnemonic aids. Sure, there are password generators out there. However, few of them are truly random, because they use pseudo-random number generators. Sing-a-Password uses a constant stream of random numbers selected by user input; the use of the timing of mouse clicks results in true randomness. What is unique to Sing-a-password is the consideration of the HUMAN BRAIN by the inclusion of fun mnemonics, with secure hints for remembering the password.
This program allows individuals to securely generate truly random passwords of any given length, while providing mnemonic aids and exercises by which such passwords may be remembered.
Why Singing? I'm a bad singer. Will this prevent me from using the program?
You don't have to sing. The singing is not the password. It's just a trick to help you remember the lyrics and therefore the password. Just humming the tune will help you remember (see below).
Secure hints for your password:
Research in psychology has shown that when you memorize two things at once, one acts as a clue for the other and significantly improves recall. Your hint is the melody of a song. This melody is completely secure, because only you know the lyrics that have been generated just for you by Sing-a-password, and that you memorized with the tune. You can even post the tune on the internet, and no one will be able to guess the length of your password or get any information on what it is.
Once a password has been generated, mnemonic sentences and tunes are matched to each character of the password. The hopefully amusing lyrics will help associating the password to familiar knowledge. The repetitive aspect of lyrics and the melody also help memorisation.
So, you don't really need to sing your password. Just hum the tune to help you memorize and then remember.
