Your proposal:
* Encourages bad (easy to type, and potentially memorable) passwords and password reuse (probably the single best way to get compromised). (I have several hundreds of unique passwords.)
* Makes phishing easier. (People are bad at consistently checking the URL bar correctly char for char and every time.)
* Is inconvenient.
* Can be done with any existing password manager.
* About shoulder looking... I don't know about you, but I frequently need my passwords at work when colleagues are watching, or when I'm sharing my screen in a (often recorded) conference call.
- joe_the_user 7y ago"Encourages bad passwords" - It seems pretty implausible a sequence of word-number-word-number is going to be inherently that weak. "Makes phishing easy" - The manager would be checking the URL bar in the same fashion as a regular password manager. "Is inconvenient" - Is not terribly inconvenient "Can be done with any existing password manager" - Great, I suppose I should just get started using them then.
