- Terr_ 3y agoI don't think we're talking about the same problem here. Regardless of how many dashes you have or how (ir)regularly they are spaced, to select the whole ID you must carefully click-drag-release around its boundaries, you can't just double-click anywhere in it to select.

- accrual 3y agoBitLocker does this and it's nice UX for walking someone through a recovery key over the phone. Another VERY nice feature is it hashes each set of 6 digits as you type, so if you transpose one, you immediately get feedback instead of "invalid key!" after typing the whole thing out.
- dheera 3y ago> hashes each set of 6 digits nice, now i can dictionary attack any key, 6 digits at a time
- Mavvie 3y agoI don't think that's how it works... It's a checksum, not letting you check if each section is part of the key. At worst, the key would have some portion less entropy since there's a lot of bits used for checksums.
