I actually didn't ignore the 'common' limitation (and didn't downvote you - I'm actually interested how you come up with that).
Follow-up questions:
- What are the first tests, before this 3rd that tests for words? I assume tests for passwords of the first/left variety in the comic? Aren't they cheaper?
- 'Up to three words' is reducing the exponent of possible combinations by one. Length/number of words is relevant
Edit: Another issue. You say 'people forget the human factor', while you, yourself, propose something like '4 times Hack News with substitutions' as better. How is that including the 'human factor'?
- ErrantX 15y ago<scrubbed answer> You know what; it's been so long since I played around with this stuff (it's even a separate company now, that we just consult for) that I'm way out of touch with my thought process :) You're right; there is nothing particularly wrong with the suggestion that makes it intrinsically very weak for most uses. I'd best stop commenting before I make a total mess :) Sorry.
