Scientists Develop New Method To Improve Passwords

Posted by timothy on from the start-thinking-of-random-things dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Scientists at Max-Planck-Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany have developed a novel method to improve password security. A strong long password is split in two parts. The first part is memorized by a human. The second part is stored as a CAPTCHA-like image of a chaotic lattice system."

    Heres an extra layer of security for your password.
    You take another post it note and stick it to your monitor over the top of the one with your password on. To access your password just lift up the top sticky note.
