I had a idea similar to this, where you would misspell one or two words randomly - and then generate a sentence below the password to help with remembering the built-in obfuscation.
Such as the Generate Password would be listed as:
> Correct Horce Battery Staple
> "Correct Horse-with-a-C Battery Staple"
- personjerry 3y agoWhy not just use "Correct Horse-with-a-C Battery Staple" as your password then?
- i2cmaster 3y agoAdding grammar will make it more predictable and less secure for the same word count.
- wiml 3y agoIt doesn't reduce the entropy any, so I don't see how it could be less secure (assuming you don't count "with a C" as the additional words, which obviously you wouldn't).
- LastMuel 3y agoMy thought was that it would add some protection against a dictionary attack. "Horse-with-a-C" is a longer password, but could possibly be hit using an algorithm that expects "with-a-[letter]" to be generated as part of a password. The randomized misspelling of a word-or-two was intended to break a dictionary attack.
- keybored 3y agoWhat’s the point? Obfuscation doesn’t increase entropy.
- LastMuel 3y agoThe obfuscation is to break a dictionary attack.
