2. Random password generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

   Random password generator. A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password. Random passwords can be generated manually, using simple sources of randomness such as dice or coins, or they can be generated using a computer.

3. Time-based one-time password - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-Time_Password

   Time-based one-time password. Time-based one-time password ( TOTP) is a computer algorithm that generates a one-time password (OTP) using the current time as a source of uniqueness. As an extension of the HMAC-based one-time password algorithm (HOTP), it has been adopted as Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard RFC 6238. [1] TOTP is ...

4. Password strength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

   Password strength. Options menu of the random password generation tool in KeePass. Enabling more character subsets raises the strength of generated passwords a small amount, whereas increasing their length raises the strength a large amount. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password against guessing or brute-force attacks.

5. Password cracking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_cracking

   Password cracking. In cryptanalysis and computer security, password cracking is the process of recovering passwords [1] from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system in scrambled form. A common approach ( brute-force attack) is to repeatedly try guesses for the password and to check them against an available ...

6. List of the most common passwords - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_most_common...

   Since 2011, the firm has published the list based on data examined from millions of passwords leaked in data breaches, mostly in North America and Western Europe, over each year. In the 2016 edition, the 25 most common passwords made up more than 10% of the surveyed passwords, with the most common password of 2016, "123456", making up 4%. [5]

7. Google Authenticator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Authenticator

   Proprietary freeware (some versions were under Apache License 2.0) Google Authenticator is a software-based authenticator by Google. It implements multi-factor authentication services using the time-based one-time password (TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) and HMAC-based one-time password (HOTP; specified in RFC 4226), for authenticating users of ...

8. HMAC-based one-time password - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC-based_one-time_password

   HMAC-based one-time password ( HOTP) is a one-time password (OTP) algorithm based on HMAC. It is a cornerstone of the Initiative for Open Authentication (OATH). HOTP was published as an informational IETF RFC 4226 in December 2005, documenting the algorithm along with a Java implementation. Since then, the algorithm has been adopted by many ...

9. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

   A cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator ( CSPRNG) or cryptographic pseudorandom number generator ( CPRNG) is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. It is also referred to as a cryptographic random number generator ( CRNG ).
