Generating the perfect password
January 16, 2007 – 4:02 pmHere’s another method for creating a decent password that I stumbled across today.
Essentially, the compound password is a juxtaposition of two simple words, with their letters alternating. For example, dcoagt is a compound password. Can you see the two words in there? How about now: dcoagt . The two words in the compound password are “cat” and “dog”. To generate the password, “cat” is “inserted” into “dog”. But what of memorability? To the unenlightened, this looks like randomly generated, hard to remember ASCII
text. But, remember, this is nothing more than the juxtaposition of two words.
