Ask HN: "Gk;a;mapp,sophaykdoappe" DVORAK as password, Good or bad?
4 points by panotpon on March 25, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Typing in DVORAK on a regular keyboard yield some amazing looking passwords. Do you think it's a bad idea?



I think it's cute, and therefore a bad idea. You're probably going to defeat any common dictionary-based password cracker...

But "Itsasmallworldafterall" is a lousy password.

Anyone have a decoder ring?


So you have to switch from DVORAK to QWERTY to type in passwords then? (I assume you type normally in dvorak)


Yes, I've been trying to learn it.
