Can anyone tell me a PW-generator, which creates PWs not crackable with

brute force?

None exist.

Like Slav answered before, there isn't. Try teaching your users (or

yourself) using "passphrases" - sentences that are actual passwords -

using all kinds of characters like ,.#! and things of that nature. The

longer those sentences/passwords are, the harder to crack (=more

time/resources) they are.

 

cheers,

Brute force can crack any password, given the time and resources.

There's just one other thing: computer cannot determine "crackability" of a

password better than a human.

 

So if you believe that your password or passphrase is strong (while being

aware of existing brute force techniques) - it probably is. My smart card is

better anyway :)
