Apple Passwords’ generated strong password format
On Mastodon recently, jsveningsson@mastodon.social asked me: Having an annoying argument on Threads about Apple generated passwords. Every iOS Password (like hupvEw-fodne1-qabjyg) seems to be constructed from gibberish two-syllable “words”.
Although the talk is a bit dated now, it also covers other topics related to password management that, given that you’re reading this post, you might be interested in. And to make it easier to short-term have in your head little chunks of it to bring over to the other device, the passwords are based on syllables. With these considerations put together, in our experience, these passwords are actually a lot easier to type on a foreign, weird keyboard, in the rare instances where that might be needed for some of our users.
