Mental cryptography and good passwords

Good passwords are hard to remember. A pattern that makes a password memorable is likely to make it vulnerable to attack.
A rather interesting scheme and allegedly secure.

Actually this is true, but we need to make use of multiple words. Password might have only one word in it, but we can have more than one word appended and mixed so that we can memorize it, and can be safe too.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

what's wrong with "password" I have been using it for years
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

You could do this without any maths by having a particular song in your head that you know all the words to (for example the national anthem) then for any given site, find the first instance of the first letter of the site name in the song (e.g. for codeproject it could be "God save our gracious queen" then take the number of letters after that letter that correspond to the number of letters in the site name (e.g. for codeproject this would give "cious queen", trim spaces and replace vowels with the ordinal of the vowel in aeiou. So - after all that you get the uncrackable password: c345sq522n Then don't forget not to reveal this method and password to the whole world. :doh:

You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think. The Theory of Gravity was invented for the sole purpose of distracting you from investigating the scientific fact that the Earth sucks.

change it to your dogs name or something on that lines, you can set your hint up to tell you what you used oh and don't forget to put your dogs name(or what ever you choose) on facebook

I was actually thinking that Duncan's solution below was a pretty good idea. The problem is, is I don't know the words to God Save the Queen so it would not work for me. :laugh:

While I tend to agree with you (Google the words in my above post),it this is not necessarily better, here a good read: http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/03/how-i-became-a-password-cracker/[^] So you would need more than only putting more letters. For instance correctbatteryhorsestaple is easily found with a 4word rule in hashcat.

I think words like 'destiny' are a way of trying to find order where none exists. - Christian Graus Entropy isn't what it used to.

Since a pic is worth a thousand words - here's a copy of a pic I saw the other day. https://www.yellloh.com/posts/i-changed-all-my-passwords-to-incorrect[^]
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

My tried and true Perfectly Automated Security System With Otherwise Randomizing Denotations, or P.A.S.S.W.O.R.D., works best for me. :doh: Or was that Pathetically Absurd Silly Statement With Otherwise Rubbish Dialog? :wtf::confused:
