Inkblot Passwords

TechnoPope writes "Microsoft Research a new way to get users to not only develop, but remember more secure passwords can be achieved through using inkblots. Because of how the human brain works, you can show the same pictures to different people and almost always come up with different passwords. What's even crazier, is that people generally are able to remember the complex passwords. Sounds like a major breakthrough in security."

Natural language passwords = dictionary attacks

Sounds like a cool idea, but I'd usually associate an ink blots with a word or two, not with a random series of letters and numbers.

Doesn't this make the system vulnerable to a dictionary attack?
