Have a lot of passwords to remember? Try a SphinxGadget! For the security conscious, keeps your passwords more securely than your browser's password cache, and makes them all unique. Easy and fun to use!
The Emerald SphinxGadget is slightly translucent with and you might imagine it could have the scent of freshly cut pine. It doesn't.
How you use it:
1. Choose a master password of reasonable length, we recommend 8 or more easy to type lowercase characters.
2. Dial up the first four letters of the site you're logging into by aligning the side letters on the SphinxGadget.
3. Read the 6-10 character password fragment through the viewfinder window. It always contains a digit, special character and uppercase letter.
4. Consistently add the password fragment to your master password (beginning, end, both ends, etc).
5. That's your strong password.
Keep the SphinxGadget near your work area or in your laptop bag. Use it when you register a new account for those odd sites you really don't want to remember a new password for. Unlike a book of passwords, you'll never fear losing it, because your passwords won't be exposed if you do. There's always the easy to remember part that you've kept in your head, protecting you.
Like snowflakes, every SphinxGadget is unique. Nobody else shares your password sequences unless you purposely buy them a duplicate.
Password reuse is a problem that many people underestimate or don't understand. It allows hackers to exploit password leaks. Check out http://xkcd.com/2176 to see how they do it. Avoid using the same password everywhere. A SphinxGadget makes it easy to do.
The SphinxGadget also supports rotating passwords if you need to change them every now and then. Just rotate the viewfinder one click every time you need a new one. If you find you can't remember how many times you've rotated a password, we also supply rim clips for the top of the gadget that you can write on with indelible marker to mark the proper rotation point.

Note: Larger SphinxGadgets are easier to read and probably more practical for older eyes that use reading glasses. We think most people will find the 70mm version quite readable.
