I thought I will share my idea of unique, memorably passwords. I have a custom in-head hash function that I use to create a unique password for every single website where I have an account.
It works as follow, let's assume this is the domain we try to generate the password for:
www.example.com
The hash process:
1 - take first letter, move 2 in alphabet, capitalize - 2 places after e in alphabte is g ("abcdefg"), capitalize - G
2 - calculate number of words in domain, x2 = 7x2=14
3 - use standard salt - eg. tlpWENT2m
4 - take last letter - e
That leads to a password:
G14tlpWENT2me
Which is both easy to remember and allows you to have a unique hashed password for every website around.
Have fun with discovering your own hashing method.
- AliAdams 12y agoHow does this work with cross-product passwords where the login can be used across multiple web apps?
- wodzu 12y agoUsually with cross-product applications you have some central domain that stands behind all of them. Just use that central domain. Eg. gmail, calendar, etc. are all behind google.
