- xenadu02 9y agoThe point is if you auto-correct passwords then you vastly decrease the legitimate bad password rate... meaning you can be more aggressive about locking or flagging accounts with multiple incorrect password attempts. Whether this would be a net win or not I don't know.
- acqq 9y agoYou can use the "nearness" logic to decide which passwords to log then, when just the logging is a problem.
