@DanBeale And how'd you implement password-hashing than? "abcdefghijklm" doesn't give the same hash as "bch". You could generate the hashes of "bch", "abc",... when the password is registered, but that'd be highly insecure because if you than in your database have a column named firstSecondandEight_character_of_password, a hacker only has to bruteforce 3 characters to know your first, second, and eight character of actual password. If your pass would than be only 8 characters long, he just has 5 to left.

| Oct 2, 2011 at 22:05 | comment | added | David Schwartz | I think Dan means something like this: Say your password is 'moose'. The site could say "enter the third character of your password, then a 'z', then the fifth character, then a 'q' ..." the user would enter "ozeq..." and a keylogger would get mostly gibberish. (If you want to get crazy, it could even say "then enter the letter before the second character or your password".) | |

| Oct 2, 2011 at 10:40 | comment | added | DanBeale | The site asking for the password could only ask for certain character (what is the second, third, and eighth character?). | |
