I also had this other idea of using the persons I.P address in someway to generate a password, maybe multiplying (the first and last fields together) and (the middle two together) of the i.p address and then adding them and creating a password from a random choice of a num -to- letter grid. E.g. z=1, x=3, w=5 up to 9 and then down agin on every other number. And then do a different one with the letters I didn't use(using numbers 1-9 so I don't go into duble digits)and maybe one with random letters in it.
I have a few theories involving password creation via I.P address such as changing to hexdecimal, and changing the value then changing back and converting to an alphanumeric using the method above or perhapse a different method.
After that i could encrypt it using one of the methods above. Is this a common way of generating passwords??
Thanks Eoin
