SafePasswd Blog

Yet another update to SafePasswd.com to make the site faster. I’m becoming obsessed. It’s fun to see how fast we can make things.

Every so often you may want to generate and print out a password, for example when setting up an account for someone. SafePasswd.com now will print out passwords a bit more friendly than in the past (it can still use some more beautification). The result is a cleaner printout that will use less ink and be more readable. That’s a win for everyone.

Also pushed out a few small bug fixes and little internal tweaks.

SSL support has been broken for a little while. It’s now been fixed and can be accessed by using https:

https://www.safepasswd.com

Starting yesterday all passwords suggested on SafePasswd.com are sent over https. For those who don’t know this means that the site is encrypted to prevent anyone from being able to sniff the passwords being suggested. Look for the little lock on your browser.

If you are using SafePasswd with Firefox you’ll see the URL bar turn yellow and a lock on the right side. IE 7 will show a lock on the right side of the URL bar. IE 6 will show it in the lower right side of the window.

Welcome to the SafePasswd.com Blog. This blog will be an interesting experiment to see how difficult it is to bring better security practices to the minds of general end users. Most things discussed here will be oriented at basic users. On occasion there will be some more technical content (just for fun ).
