13:12 Password for the geeks to mix but do not stir

If you're afraid of key loggers and can not hesitate to say what the letter in your password is on the N-th place, for you have an original way to enter passwords, which will slightly increase their safety. If the author has made the site to enter a password plain text field (of course the type «password», so that no one spied on), then you can enter the password letter by letter discordantly (in no particular order), of course, moving the mouse cursor that can be traced order entry by pressing the cursor keys. However, for the convenience of users propose to enter a password to automate the process of mixing, setting instead of a simple set of single-character text field cells: After you enter each character the cursor is automatically moved into one of the randomly selected blank cells, which for better visibility backlit background . Of course, nothing prevents rearrange the cursor manually. When submitting a form password is collected in a single row, with empty cells are skipped (not all passwords of equal length). Plus of this decision: protection from keyloggers, although all the characters in the password, you can still catch, will go bust before N! (Factorial) options to find the correct order. Single cell encourages users to choose longer passwords (and you thought when you register your password you can enter the same way) and show how much more space is available. Password can not be skopipastit, which means it will have to remember, and not stored in a potentially unsafe location on your computer. Password is transformed into an exciting game:) The obvious cons: password it takes longer enter the password "purely mechanical" has not come out, it must be remembered and split in the mind on the individual letters, which requires serious intellectual effort. Warning: the idea was conceived and published just for fun. I think all it is obvious that this way of can not be done only option, but if someone sells it on its website as a alternative way the password and it will attract another pair of geeks in his audience - it will be good.
