Scientists Develop New Method To Improve Passwords 104
An anonymous reader writes "Scientists at Max-Planck-Institute for Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany have developed a novel method to improve password security. A strong long password is split in two parts. The first part is memorized by a human. The second part is stored as a CAPTCHA-like image of a chaotic lattice system."

Perhaps analyze this idea for its own worth rather than look for silly reasons to discard it? How about that it relies on generating a secure password already, which would be hard for people to memorize, how the blind couldn't use it, or how it's really just the combination of two already common ideas?
