3. Linear congruential generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_congruential_generator

   The second row is the same generator with a seed of 3, which produces a cycle of length 2. Using a = 4 and c = 1 (bottom row) gives a cycle length of 9 with any seed in [0, 8]. A linear congruential generator (LCG) is an algorithm that yields a sequence of pseudo-randomized numbers calculated with a discontinuous piecewise linear equation.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password

   A password, sometimes called a passcode, is secret data, typically a string of characters, usually used to confirm a user's identity. Traditionally, passwords were expected to be memorized, [1] but the large number of password-protected services that a typical individual accesses can make memorization of unique passwords for each service ...

6. Master Password (algorithm) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_Password_(algorithm)

   Master Password is a type of algorithm first implemented by Maarten Billemont for creating unique passwords in a reproducible manner. It differs from traditional password managers in that the passwords are not stored on disk or in the cloud, but are regenerated every time from information entered by the user: Their name, a master password, and a unique identifier for the service the password ...
