LEBIGOT (EOL) Wed, 10 Feb 2010 09:45:22 +0000 http://luxsci.com/blog/?p=1274#comment-656 Very lucid article! I would just like to point out that some provisions should be made for the few (but painfully real) sites that restrict the password: some restrict it to 8 characters, some do not allow non alphanumeric characters, etc. A method for falling back to a weaker but site-compliant password would be good (such as "the first 4 characters of the BASE + the first 4 characters of the SUFFIX", with non alphanumeric characters replaced by some allowed character, e.g., "x"). Very lucid article!
