متن کاملPassword Generators: Old Ideas and New
Password generators that generate site-specific passwords on demand are an alternative to password managers. Over the last 15 years a range of such systems have been described.

The model enables an objective assessment of the design of such systems; it has also been used to sketch a possibl...
