Forget About Forgotten
Passwords

If you are using a lengthy, strong password like this one --
IaR692iiXgdXhXhde6d2 -- how do you remember it?
For users of PassByte, the
password creation program, you don't! The program does it for you.
Using
information that you enter about a password-protected website, PassByte creates a password to your specifications
(and the site's),
then re-creates it each time you need it! PassByte
doesn't actually remember (save) the password. It re-creates it. Your
strong password isn't saved anywhere.
Of course, PassByte can create a
readable and printable backup file if you wish -- helpful if you
want to lock away a copy of your passwords in case your computer
crashes.
Forget about forgotten passwords.

Internet Security
...but, what if hackers do get your password?
No Internet security scheme is perfect. If, in spite of all
your precautions, hackers get your password, they can gain access
to bank balances, credit card numbers, shopping sites, or social
sites where your personal info is kept.
This havoc can be reduced by using a different password for each website. That way, if hackers get
one of them, at least they can't access every secure site you use. Programs like
PassByte
make it easy for Internet users to use different passwords without having to remember
them all. PassByte is a simple little program that
lets you enter the same password for all websites, then creates complex
Strong Passwords -- a unique one for every website -- for
you. You don't have to memorize themby combining the name of the website and a Friendly
Password, which is the developer's description of an
easily-recalled password that you enter for all your
password-protected websites).
As their ad says, "It could be as simple as your dog's name."
