To allow for better availability as well as performance upgrades were performed over the past 2 weeks. Hopefully things are faster and more reliable than they ever were.

More Upgrades
Thursday, October 15th, 2009Release Update
Monday, September 7th, 2009We’re now a week into SafePasswd.com 2.0 and thought I’d mention some of the changes in response to feedback and suggestions:
- Performance Improvements – Still not done optimizing, but we’re getting closer. Lots of performance were made on the backend and frontend to ensure better response time.
- Custom Password Lengths – While many users prefer the bar based UI for selecting password length, some want exact numbers. There’s now a link below to make that possible. This also allows you to select lengths less than 10 characters (though 10 or more is recommended).
- Password Detail Breakdown – For longer passwords it’s hard to see how the password breaks down into words and numbers for easier memorization. It’s now colorized to make it easier than ever.
There’s dozens of other tiny little bug fixes and enhancements there as well. As always comments and suggestions are welcome.
New Design
Sunday, August 30th, 2009A new design launched this evening. Hoping the site will be a bit more appealing and even easier to use.
It’s also a little more cutting edge taking advantage of the latest web development goodies jQuery and HTML5 to perform better.
It’s officially a beta for the next week or so. Send some feedback with your thoughts.
Secure Safe Passwords
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Starting 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
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Welcome 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 
).
If you have something you want to say, feel free to send a note.
