Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to information security, and more particularly, to a method and system for setting passwords and a method and system for verifying passwords. Background technique [0002] At present, more and more electronic devices store a large amount of information. Usually, these devices are set with access passwords to prevent illegal access to information. Some use hardware keyboards to input passwords, such as desktop computers, servers, bank ATMs, etc., and some use software keyboards on touch screens to input passwords. [0003] In the process of inputting the password, since each key of the keyboard is consistent with the symbol information displayed on the keyboard, the people next to the password can easily spy on the password through the input position information. Therefore, a random keyboard is proposed in the prior art. The method, that is, the position of each key on the hardware or software keyboard does not maintain a ...

In this way, after the user sets the password, the symbol information displayed on each key on the keyboard is inconsistent each time. For example, for the numeric keypad, the positions of numbers 0-9 are not fixed. In this way, when the user enters the password for verification, , it is difficult for people next to you to guess the content of the password from the position of the keyboard

[0004] However, the current urban life draws the distance between people closer and closer, such as queuing in public places, on public transportation, or even when waiting for a bus or a plane, people are crowded shoulder to shoulder, and it is easy to be overwhelmed by the people next to them. People see the entered password, and can even directly see the symbolic information of the entered password. Even if a random keyboard is used, there is no way to prevent people around from directly spying on the password.
