Now your passwords can be secure, unique, and retrievable.

What is it?

PassGrub.com is a free online tool to help you manage unique and strong passwords for your online accounts, while at the same time keeping them retrievable.

How do I use it?

Come up with some convention. Website, followed by a comma, followed by the last four digits of your telephone. Website (with the dot part), directly followed by your middle name.

Using that convention, provide input to the text box and submit. PassGrub.com will give you a 12-character password that would be very hard to guess.

Copy and paste the password into form as you register to a site. Now you've provided the website you registered to a very unique and strong password.

Remember the convention when you are at another computer and need to login to an online account, return to PassGrub.com, and using the same convention that you came up with, retrieve your password.

How does it work?

PassGrub.com returns an encoded hash of whatever string you provide. If you visit this website from any other computer and put the same string in, it will yield the same password.

Examples?

Sure.

Website.xxx, colon, key.

Security?

Now your easy-to-remember password of your pet's name or your favorite TV show is not stored all over the Internet, and someone who figures out your password can't access all of your accounts because they still don't know the exact string that you're providing.

We're providing a 10-character, alpha-numeric, case-sensitive password with special characters. That makes a secure password that falls within the restrictions of most online account password requirements.

What? Me? Oh, no. None of your inputs are saved or transmitted other than to provide the hash to you. Still don't trust me? That's okay. I understand. But it's still a useful tool.
