Right, this was what I meant by it not implying there is a correct answer.
And I don't think it isn't something that should be studied. I just find articles like this way overstated. They are using what I would call strawman arguments for most of the "bad" things they show. Or with odd pictures of eyeballs and angles for what appears to be sophistry.
I'm sympathetic to the idea that oO0 all look almost too similar in many type faces. I'm... actually less convinced that is a problem for most places than is often put forward. (Yes, I remember "passwords" on old video games being a nightmare when you didn't realize this was the case. I, oddly, don't remember a single time since then that this has been a problem.)
- qu4z-2 4y agoI regularly get texted passwords for work, and the difference between I and l on my default Android SMS app is one or two vertical pixels difference in height. O and 0 are also pretty similar, but o is clearly different.
- taeric 4y agoI'm curious what sort of passwords you are texted that you are expected to type in? Only "passwords" I get texted on a regular basis are purely numeric, such that this is a non-issue.
