Do you want a free authenticator?

Open wordpad/words/ anything you can type and save your work on.

Write the following: 1234567890+qwertyuiopÃ¥asdfghjklÃ¸Ã¦zxcvbnm,.-

Done? Ok, what you need to do now is to Copy and paste your password from the list above (assuming you have typed all the letters you have in your password, if not, do it now) until it spells it.

OK, now, save the document. Everytime you want to logon, you just copypaste your password from the document you saved, and copypaste it into the logon screen. IF you have a key logger, all they will see is:
"Click click" (opens wordpad or w/e). "Click drag" (highlights your password). CTRL+C (copy) , and then CTRL V and enter (Paste it into the login screen and logon)

Q u o t e:
Copying and Pasting passwords to prevent keyloggers picking up the keystrokes is an urban myth. Most (Ok, not all) keyloggers intentionally read the contents of the clipboard where the information is stored.

This is unfortunately true :-(

Most modern keyloggers do more things than just logging your keystrokes, so copy/pasting login information is no longer as safe as it once used to be.

Q u o t e:
The authenticator is and always will be the best line of defense against account compromises.

This is also true.

I am sure there will come a time when a better security solution is developed, but until that happens, the current authenticator solutions is the best form of account security you can get.
