Random Password Generator: Is it really useful?

Sometimes, choosing a password for an account seems tough. You might wonder which letters or symbols you should use to create a secure password which is difficult to hack.

Created by inetIndustry, GenerateMyPassword is a javascript random password generator that generates a random string of any combination of letters (upper and lower case), numbers and symbols. This tool allows you to choose your password length with a maximum of 25 characters.

After generating your password using the tool, it even provides you a feature that allows you to practice your passwords so that you can remember them.

However, this question has always been on my mind: is this tool really that useful in generating passwords? I would say a Yes and a No!

Password generators are useful in the sense that it helps you create passwords which contain a combination of letters, numbers and symbols, and that doesn't looks similar to a dictionary word.

On the other hand, I feel that this can be easily done by a human. For example, when you're at the account page, punching in your details, would you rather head to a password generator website or simply typing in your own password instead? Of course, you must type in a password which looks complicated!

And even though Google announced an unlocked Android G1 around the 2008 holidays, people still preferred the iPhone 3G. Gizmodo has uncovered some leaked photos of a new handset which appear to be quite authentic. The first thing you would notice here is its shiny plastic finish, which is very much welcoming from the pale gray look on G1. Also this time around there is not physical keyboard present, which is a little disappointing. Though the touchscreen is large, but we know the current Android interface had some issues. The back side has a new surprise A 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, though even mid range phones for vendors like Nokia boast a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera these days. What would be interesting is the video capabilities of the G2 (if there are any). The current rumors suggest that this handset would hit the shelves...
