That's enough that you're probably going to write down the information, in which case I question whether it is any better than just writing down your passwords on the card instead. It's certainly going to be annoying playing a crossword puzzle for every login, so it's much harder to use for sure. | |

It seems like a great idea on face value...but it's from Steve Gibson, who is known for some pretty stupid ideas, and doesn't really give off a vibe of understanding what he's talking about in the password area. I'm not expert enough to find any holes he may have, though. Anyway, if used exactly according to directions, it only gives about 67 bits of entropy for generated passwords, according to his own numbers (191 Quintilian possible passwords). You could make this better by adding more characters, maybe combining the username with the website. | |
