I need help with http://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/How-To:GenerateStrongPassword. I've looked at many sites that describe how to generate strong passwords. I find most unsatisfactory.

The example password "Tammy's#18bdayBIGpartyDroppedshibesweaterinpoolGMasonUsoon:(3yearsislong" on that page is weak.

Generating a NXT password is basically the same problem as creating a Bitcoin private key. bitaddress.org is to my knowledge a fairly trusted site. You can take the private key it generates and use it as your password.

The human brain should not be used to generate a password because it is not a good source of randomness.

KeePass estimates 324 bit entropy for that passphrase. That's more bits than a NXT account with public key.

I'm not for trusting third party sites or software to do generation, though others may feel differently. I do welcome different views on the wiki

Feel free to register (PM joefox, the wiki admin) and edit, or comment in the talk page.

Try this - www.passwordcard.org/en

Perhaps a dedicated open source NXT password card generator would be a useful tool for the community.
