COMBO Keypad vs Puzzle Sidekick

The COMBO Keypad is meant for anyone who works with safe combinations on a regular basis. The ever-popular security phrase is "Memorize, Don't Compromise" relays the idea that if you memorize the alphanumeric word then its easier to remember than a string of six digits. This application supplies the user with a handy numeric telephone keypad with the A-Z letter identifiers under each number, in a bright high-contrast easy-to-read font. An optional random combination generator is also available to help you create new combinations.
