Password chart is an online service that helps you improve the quality of your passwords. The principle is pretty easy: You enter a phrase at the beginning which will be used to create the password chart. An example would be “Make your passwords stronger with passwordchart.com” or “http://www.ghacks.net/ is gr3at”. The password chart will be displayed on the right side of the screen changing while you are adding new chars to the phrase. You can opt to add numbers and punctuation for increased security, they will be added to the chart on the right.
Every letter now equals between 1-3 chars in the password chart. For example A=88, B=tr3 and C=?. If you did not opt to include numbers and punctuation the password chart will be filled with upper and lower case letters only. Now type a usual password that you use into the second form and see how the letters are substituted by the chars of the passwords chart. Lets say we choose the password ABC which would be converted to 88tr3?. Guess which one will be easier to brute force ? Right..
It is of course not really convenient to remember 88tr3? or larger sequences but that is not necessary either. Save or print the password chart and look it up whenever you forget the new password. Printing would be even better than saving it to the computer because no one on the internet will have access to your password chart then.
