Smart password

Introduction

I often watch people enter their passwords. Many do it not in the most clever way. They enter, err, rule, re-type and err again. “123” of course they can type quickly, but more and more people realize that passwords should be random and not be easily copied.

There are special programs - password generators. For given parameters (number of characters, numbers / characters / language, etc.), they give out random passwords that are difficult enough to go through. But there is a problem, usually such passwords are difficult to remember. I want to propose an idea that will not only improve the memorability of the password, but also facilitate the set.

The essence of the idea

The idea is that the program generates passwords not only difficult for brute force hacker, but also convenient for typing from the keyboard by the user.

In the settings of the generation parameters, you need to take all the best from the previous generation of password generators and add optimization possibilities for different hand positions (in my opinion, there are several options besides the already classic FYVA-OLDJ). And also only under the right or left hand. For example, I really love passwords that are typed with one hand.
The generation algorithm will be non-trivial. Because you need to take into account that the passwords are diverse, do not limit the great variety of combinations. And of course, that they were really comfortable . I think it would be nice to involve speed dialing professionals in the development of the algorithm. For example, the notorious Shahidzhanyan .

Look wider

In addition to a separate program for generating passwords, you can embed this algorithm in the scripts that you often see on the Internet, when you register with a new site, you are sent an already generated password. I think users would be pleased.

And where is the improved memorized, you ask? =) Yes, just changing the way of remembering. He becomes mechanical. The easier it is to type a password, the easier your hand will remember it.

By the way, at the time of my students, in my company of friends the “universal” password klop was popular. It can be very quickly typed, memorized, and it is not as well known as 123 or qwerty. I, in any case, never met.

UPD: By the way, it's a good idea to use it for alphanumeric captcha on sites.
