As seen at right, Tiger includes a new Password Assistant which helps generate passwords when setting up user accounts. To access, click the Key icon you see when adding a password to a user account (in Accounts in System Preferences).
The assistant can create the following types of passwords:
- Memorable (the most useful to me -- secure & you can actually remember these!)
- Letters & Numbers
- Numbers Only
- Random
- FIPS-181 Compliant
[robg adds: Hopefully this will help users create longer yet memorable passwords; I'm glad to see the tool improved and moved out of the confines of the Keychain application.]
