I need to talk to a UK Government department, so I have to create an account - despite my having an account with several other departments already (connected government, don't you just love it?)
so I give my email address, I move to the password box ... and Chrome automatically creates a random string password and suggest I can use that if I want, it will remember it for me so I don't have to.
Now, that's clever. Encouraging the use of string passwords and "not writing them down on a post it". And since this is Chrome, it'll almost certainly work automatically on the WookieTab as well ...

How do you know the "random text" it is creating isn't just "password"?

Because it shows you what it is so you can write it down if you feel the need.

Just wait for version 2 when it starts suggesting passwords that you commonly use on other sites...
"Would you like to use your standard 'pasword123' password?"

Er, no, this isnt spam, it is me, OK?

It's possible that the spam detector has read enough posts by M_M to assume everything about him is not worth publishing ...

I'd still rather use KeePass. IMO, having a password manager run within the same process space as a browser just seems to me like the worst combination possible. It suggests you're always just one buffer overflow away from having keys becoming accessible to those you'd rather not share them with.
That said, I'm no security expert. But it's always seemed to me like integrating the two is simply removing an important barrier for the sake of convenience (and convenience always works against security).

I know what you mean, but ... Chrome isn't allowed near my important passwords (bank, paypal, etc.) but I do let Chrome sort out the myriad of shops and so forth that require a login (Fleabay, Amazon, ...) but need a separate password to actually pay for something.
This means that Average Joe can use different, strong, passwords for each site he signs up to without writing them down in a book beside the computer or using the same one for all sites (which is horrific when you think about it).

I've had it.
From now on, any page that presents me with a recaptcha "puzzle" will be immediately closed.
Are those two fuzzy pixels in the far distance a bus? Click the square and they're not? FAIL. Don't click and they are? FAIL. Either way, start again.
Sorry, but I don't access the Internet to play stupid, waste-of-precious-time guessing games, so if your site uses recaptcha, I don't use your site.

I don't mind the ones which tell you "Tick the box marked 'I am human, honest'"
But the picture ones are a PITA - is that bit of a traffic light relevant? Is that a motorcycle or a dog?

Basically they measure age.

If you want to measure age, that's easy: show 'em a picture of an 8-track cartridge and see if they can identify it.

Looks shameless self-promotion, posting the Griffophone, such well known invention of yours.

Nah, the Griffophone was two tins and a piece of string!
