The article mentions that non-English language support as a future improvement. Since the article is long that it's easy to miss this point and to put that in perspective how important that is here's an example:
yehtohaasanhaiguesskarna
That means "This is easy to guess" in Hindi transliteration. Only English support would say it will take "centuries" to guess. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.html http://dl.dropbox.com/u/209/zxcvbn/test/index.html)
- Tossrock 15y agoDid hindi take "guess" as a loanword or is that just a massive coincidence
- ashishgandhi 15y agoLoan word. I can't remember the the Hindi word for "guess" right now. PS: Although I don't remember the exact words but there were some which are strikingly similar in both languages. But I found this for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Hindi_or_Urdu_origin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Hindi_...
- chime 15y ago> I can't remember the the Hindi word for "guess" right now. Bujho.
- Retric 15y agoThat's a neat list. Thug, Punch, Loot, Jodhpurs, Dinghy, Cummerbund, Cot, Bungalow, ...
- Garbage 15y agoGuess = अनुमान , अंदाज़ , अटकल
- jerf 15y agoI'd love to be able to use Unicode in general in my passwords. I've already mapped an interrobang on to my keyboard because I was using it so much I needed a key for it. But who would take it? (Since someone will ask, yes, there are some accounts I'm willing to limit myself to using one of my personal computers to access, or jumping through significant hoops to get there, like my bank account.)
- astine 15y agoHoly crap. The interrobang is awesome! Why have I never heard of it before‽
- pwf 15y agoThat's not that great of an example: password: This is easy to guess entropy: 52.13 crack time (seconds): 246474312966 crack time (display): centuries score from 0 to 4: 4
- ufo 15y agoYes, he explicitly says that common phrases (like "this is easy to guess" and "harry potter") are a type of pattern he would like to include in the system but didn't for technical reasons.
