Let OS X Create Passwords
If you're looking for a memorable yet secure password (that is, one involving
numbers, capital letters, and symbols), you can let OS X do the hard work,
as follows:
1.
Open Keychain Access, which is the application in OS X that handles
password and certificate security. You'll find it in the
UTILITIES
folder of the
Applications view in Finder.
2.
Once the app has started, click File→New Password Item. Don't worry—
we're not actually going to create a new item for the keychain. Instead,
we're simply going to make use of its password tool.
3.
In the dialog box that slides into view, click the small key icon alongside
the Password textbox. This will open the Password Assistant, which is
what we're interested in.
4.
In the Password Assistant dialog box, ensure the Type drop-down list is
set to Memorable. Then look in the suggestion box for the password that's
been created for you. To generate another, once again select Memorable
from the drop-down list.
