• Punctuation — The password can include any of the punctuation characters included
in this field. PassBuilder defaults to including:
! @ # $ ^ & * ( ) - =
but you can change the field to anything you like.
5.2.3. Memory Aid
• None — This option will generate the most secure password but at the expense of being
harder to remember.
• Mnemonic Sentence — With this option, PassBuilder will also generate a sentence that
could help you to remember the password. For example, if PassBuilder generates the
password Bni, it would show you the mnemonic sentence was Brian nibbled icons. Any
Numbers or Punctuation will be added to the end of the sentence.
When selecting this option, you will also be presented with two additional buttons: the
Copy Memory Aid to Clipboard button will copy the mnemonic sentence to the clip-
board for your use in other software and the Append Memory Aid to Card Note button
will add the mnemonic sentence to the end of your card notes.
• Pronounceable — The Pronounceable option is based on the U.S. governments FIPS
181 specification for creating pronounceable passwords. The key advantage is that a
Pronounciation Aid will be displayed that uses syllables to help you remember your
password. Any Numbers or Punctuation will be prepended and/or appended to the
password.
• Dictionary — The Dictionary option starts with a word from a built-in dictionary. Addi-
tional characters are then mixed into the password to fill it out to the requested Length.
If the Warped option is checked, certain characters will be changed so the password is
still readable, but it would be harder for someone to guess. For example, an a might be
changed to an @ and a s might be changed to a 5 or a z.
5.2.4. Notes
If you’ve selected the Notes field as the destination for your password, the password you
generate will be appended to the end of the Notes field.
