Passwords are generally short enough to be easily memorized and typed.

Passwords which are difficult to remember will reduce the security of a system because ( a ) users might need to write down or electronically store the password, ( b ) users will need frequent password resets and ( c ) users are more likely to re-use the same password.

Passwords that are used to generate cryptographic keys ( e. g., for disk encryption or Wi-Fi security ) can also be subjected to high rate guessing.

Passwords are vulnerable to interception ( i. e., " snooping ") while being transmitted to the authenticating machine or person.

Passwords easily discovered are termed weak or vulnerable ; passwords very difficult or impossible to discover are considered strong.

Passwords are used on websites to authenticate users and are usually maintained on the Web server, meaning the browser on a remote system sends a password to the server ( by HTTP POST ), the server checks the password and sends back the relevant content ( or an access denied message ).

Passwords are a common means of verifying a user's identity before access is given to information systems.

** Passwords ( which are usually low information entropy secrets, and thus less secure )

* Passwords are stored in a plaintext file.

Passwords are usually not stored in cleartext, but instead in digest form, to improve security.

Passwords are given out at the beginning of each new " racing season " ( each planet has its own definition of how many races make up a season, but early advancement will automatically start a new season ), and they are located at the bottom of the F / X screen ( accessible from the menu between races ).

Passwords which are difficult to remember will reduce the security of a system because ( a ) users might need to write down or electronically store the password, ( b ) users will need frequent password resets and ( c ) users are more likely to re-use the same password.

Passwords are hashed to protect against this since version 15. 5, which was released in 2007.

Passwords are no longer adequate to protect laptops.

Passwords are used to gain access to computer resources, and computer users generally choose passwords that are easy to remember, but therefore insecure.

# Passwords are not case sensitive.

Passwords are given after game over, recording the level, number of bombs, and strength of bombs.

Passwords are used to keep track of the players progress.

However, some authorities believe that password-based logins are obsolete: “ Passwords are a flawed technology ,” according to Tom Gilbert, CTO of Blue Ridge Networks, " They aggravate the users who have to remember them and the administrators who rely on them to secure their systems.

According to a paper on strong authentication ( entitled " Road Map: Replacing Passwords with OTP Authentication ") published by Burton Group ( a division of Gartner, Inc .) in 2010, " Gartner's expectation is that the hardware OTP form factor will continue to enjoy modest growth while smartphone OTPs will grow and become the default hardware platform over time.

Passwords in military use evolved to include not just a password, but a password and a counterpassword ; for example in the opening days of the Battle of Normandy, paratroopers of the U. S. 101st Airborne Division used a password — flash — which was presented as a challenge, and answered with the correct response — thunder.

* Memorability and Security of Passwords – Cambridge University Computer Laboratory study of password memorability vs. security.

Passwords, or more correctly, the hash of the password, can also be stored in the same place.

Passwords expire every 150 days, and may not be replaced by any password used the previous ten times.

* Passwords cached by the operating system or browser, which might continue to be offered to servers after a password change that was initiated on another computer ( help desk, password management web server, etc.

This authentication could be a single use password, non-text based, Biometric, a 2D key, or Cognitive Passwords that are question based.

Passwords, as with saved games, have been primarily used for home systems, but have found some use in arcades, as in Gauntlet Legends, which uses passwords to record player statistics / abilities and progress.

By 1996, other engineers had joined in, because it was clear that Cygwin would be a useful way to provide Cygnus ' embedded tools hosted on Windows systems ( the previous strategy had been to use DJGPP ).

:: An embedded database system is a DBMS which is tightly integrated with an application software that requires access to stored data in a way that the DBMS is “ hidden ” from the application ’ s end-user and requires little or no ongoing maintenance.

In a 2011 interview for the Financial Times, Loach explains how " The politics are embedded into the characters and the narrative, which is a more sophisticated way of doing it ".

Some earlier versions of Firefox ( e. g., versions between 1. 5 and 4. 0 ) and some other outdated web browsers that can display SVG graphics needed them embedded in or elements to display them integrated as parts of an HTML webpage instead of using the standard way of integrating images with.

It is an intrinsic property which can be determined by measuring length and angles and does not depend on the way the surface is embedded in space.

They concluded that phonics is a very effective way to teach children to read at the word level, more effective than what is known as the " embedded phonics " approach of whole language ( where phonics was taught opportunistically in the context of literature ).

With regard to phonics, their meta-analysis of hundreds of studies confirmed the findings of the National Research Council: teaching phonics ( and related phonics skills, such as phonemic awareness ) is a more effective way to teach children early reading skills than is embedded phonics or no phonics instruction.

As the name haemocoel suggests, the body cavity is filled with a blood-like liquid, in which all the organs are embedded ; in this way, they can be easily supplied with nutrients circulating in the blood.

Systems built in this way are still regarded as embedded since they are integrated into larger devices and fulfill a single role.

DataGlyphs can be embedded into a half-tone image or background shading pattern in a way that is almost perceptually invisible, similar to steganography.

There is a key distinction between extrinsic curvature, which is defined for objects embedded in another space ( usually a Euclidean space ) in a way that relates to the radius of curvature of circles that touch the object, and intrinsic curvature, which is defined at each point in a Riemannian manifold.

) Materialists do not find this a useful way of thinking about the ontology and ontogeny of ideas, but we might say that from a materialist perspective pushed to a logical extreme communicable to an idealist ( an " Away Team " perspective ), ideas are ultimately reducible to a physically communicated, organically, socially and environmentally embedded ' brain-state '.

For example this interface provides a way to access the container's window's device context, thereby enabling the embedded object to draw in the container's window.

Pyroxenes were named this way because of their presence in volcanic lavas, where they are sometimes seen as crystals embedded in volcanic glass ; it was assumed they were impurities in the glass, hence the name " fire strangers ".

It is a very common practice within the university to use chronograms for dedications when transcribed into Latin, they are written in such a way that an important date, usually that of a foundation or the dedication itself, is embedded in the text.

When developing software for a simulator, which can range from embedded avionics devices to 3D terrain databases by way of full motion control systems, the engineer keeps a notebook detailing the development " the build " of the project or module.

It is not uncommon to find ODBC drivers for database engines that are meant to be embedded, like SQLite, as a way to allow existing tools to act as front-ends to these engines for testing and debugging.

In distributed computing, the reference may contain more than an address or identifier ; it may also include an embedded specification of the network protocols used to locate and access the referenced object, the way information is encoded or serialized.

The theorem says that the Gaussian curvature of a surface can be determined entirely by measuring angles, distances and their rates on the surface itself, without further reference to the particular way in which the surface is embedded in the ambient 3-dimensional Euclidean space.

The ' TSL may return the same way as the studio / transmitter link ( STL ), or it can be embedded in the station's regular broadcast signal as a subcarrier ( for analog stations ) or a separate data channel ( for digital stations ).

It is an intrinsic measure of curvature, i. e., its value depends only on how distances are measured on the surface, not on the way it is isometrically embedded in space.

Without an ICE, the development of embedded systems can be extremely difficult, because there is usually no way to tell what went wrong.

But for Internet service providers, who do not provide a public voice service, IDSL is an interesting way of using POTS dial service to offer higher-speed Internet access, targeting the embedded base of more than five million ISDN users as an initial market.

Since most avionics manufacturers see software as a way to add value without adding weight, the importance of embedded software in avionic systems is increasing.
