Although many users don't, users can choose secure but still meaningful
passwords. For example, someone
might choose the password ``~(k1)^2Frt" which looks fairly meaningless,
but makes sense to the user:
~ |
is a tilde - a squiggle that reminds the user of her first pet, a ferret |
(k1)^2 |
represents the ferret's name, which is Kiki. |
k1 looks like ``ki", and (k1)^2 is mathematical short hand for ``k1k1" |
|
Frt |
Is the user's short form for the word ``ferret" |
But it is much harder to come up with a justification for a randomly-generated password than from a difficult password that you have created.
