Password Generator in Keepass tip
Password Generator in Keepass tip, there’s a great password vault called Keepass I use that has a great option. You can setup the characters used in generating passwords, and exclude characters like lower case L and the number 1 for instance.

Keepass doesn’t store information in the cloud, it stores your vault locally on a USB stick of your choice. http://keepass.info/ is the URL , click Downloads, and the Professional Edition>Portable
