Secure, Memorable Password Generator

ICS Data creates thousands of passwords annually. We balance security and compliance with memorable passwords. We struggled to find a password generator that met our goals, so we created our own!

Cybercriminal use of brute force attacks (guessing credentials) has grown as a source of web application breaches from about 10% in 2023 to over 50% in 2025 (Verizon 2024 DBIR). More than 60% of people reuse passwords, creating massive vulnerability chains.

Unlike random character strings that users write down or forget, our generator creates:

• Memorable but secure passphrases (e.g., “PurpleTiger$Bounces42”), which balance randomness and security while making it more practical for users to remember their most frequently used passwords.
• NIST 800-63B compliant combinations are important for compliance for people whose work interfaces with the federal government, and they help to ensure users follow the current best practices for credentials.

Unlike random character strings that users write down or forget, our generator creates:

• Memorable but secure passphrases (e.g., “PurpleTiger$Bounces42”), which balance randomness and security while making it more practical for users to remember their most frequently used passwords.
• NIST 800-63B compliant combinations are important for compliance for people whose work interfaces with the federal government, and they help to ensure users follow the current best practices for credentials.

Cybercriminals use sophisticated methods including:

• • • Brute force attacks: Automated tools testing millions of combinations per second which are becoming more efficient and effective with advances in technology.
    • Dictionary attacks: Testing common words and phrases (e.g., “password123”).
    • Credential stuffing: Trying breached passwords from other sites, which is why it is so important to have unique combinations for each of your logins.
    • Phishing: Fake login pages stealing credentials, which is why Security Awareness Training for employees should be considered a mandatory and ongoing process.

    A password like “Summer2025!” can be cracked in under 1 minute using modern GPU clusters.

The NIST SP 800-63B guidelines recommend:

• • • 12+ character minimum for all passwords
    • Eliminating periodic resets unless compromised
    • Banning common passwords (e.g., “password1”, “qwerty”)
    • Encouraging passphrases over complex character mixes

Pro Tip: Use our generator to create passwords, then store them in a manager like Bitwarden or 1Password.

The password landscape keeps evolving with new dangers:

• • • AI-powered cracking: Tools like PassGAN can guess 50% of common passwords in under 1 minute
    • MFA bypass attacks: 28% of users with multi-factor authentication enabled are still the target of attackers (JumpCloud 2025 MFA Statistics)
    • Quantum computing: Future systems may break current encryption standards

Follow this checklist to secure your accounts:

1. 1. Generate new passwords for all critical accounts (email, banking, healthcare)
   2. Enable MFA wherever available
   3. Audit existing passwords using Have I Been Pwned?
   4. Review account recovery options (remove insecure fallbacks)
   5. Educate your team/family about phishing risks
