Generate easy to remember passwords with Password Bird

Password Bird creates a password using personal words that are easy to remember. Simply enter in an important date, an important world, and an important name.

Password bird will then generate an 8 character password.

The idea is that it’s going to generate a password that is easy for you to remember

Are the passwords secured?
Well security is a personal responsibility, its only secure a long as you don't tell anyone. Of course the longer the password the better.

Password Bird works great in firefox, internet explorer and chrome.

Using Password Bird is simple and easy, it’s ideal for all levels of users. Advanced users might have their own method, but Password Bird is great if you need a quick password.

On-site Help


On-site help is often needed when there is a physical problem with the computer's hardware or the system is not giving users access. We take great care to work with you on setting up a date and time to arrive at your business and understand how much of your time this takes up. Once we get a understanding of the problem we will provide you with a quote for the work. If materials are needed to be purchased it is up to the client or we can provide you with a receipt of the purchase. Once the issue is resolved we will provide a report outline what was the problem, what caused the problem and any recommendations we have to prevent the problem from happening again in the future.

If we are unable to fix the issue ourselves, you will not be charged and we will be willing to work with a 3rd party or manufacturer support free of charge. These are rare but sometimes needed.
*Re-installations of operating systems such as windows are not considered a part of the on-site help package.

On-site work starts at $100
