A password input method with safety and convenience in mind

Abstract

The invention discloses a password inputting method with a combination of safety and convenience. The password inputting method comprises the steps that (1) it is judged that an input box where a current input focus is located is a password input box; (2) device characteristics or environment characteristics are obtained; (3) original passwords input by a user are obtained; (4) according to the device characteristics or the environment characteristics which are obtained in the step (2) and the original passwords which are input by the user and obtained in the step (3), high-strength passwords are worked out according to a specific algorithm; (5) the password input box judged in the step (1) is filled with the high-strength passwords worked out in the step (4). According to the password inputting method with the combination of the safety and the convenience, the simple passwords are input by the user, so that the high-strength passwords are obtained; on one hand, memorizing is facilitated, so that convenience for password inputting and memorizing is achieved; on the other hand, the requirement for the high-safety passwords of an application program is met, the safety of program application is improved, and the combination of the convenience and the safety is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a safe and convenient password input method, which belongs to the technical field of network security. Background technique [0002] At present, most Internet applications, no matter on personal computers, mobile phones or tablet computers, require users to enter account numbers and passwords for authorized access. Generally, when users use Internet applications such as e-mail, social media, and even online shopping, they must first register an account and password; whether the password is set appropriately or not is related to the security of the account; The more random the distribution, the stronger the password and the more secure the account. However, high-strength passwords also have their weaknesses. The higher the strength of the password, the more difficult it is for the user to remember and the higher the probability of forgetting it. [0003] Different Internet applications have different password strength requirem...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Different Internet applications have different password strength requirements. Generally, the passwords recognized by program A cannot pass the strength test in program B, which requires users to use different password strength settings for program A and program B; although this strengthens the user account security, but greatly increases the user's memory burden, and also greatly increases the probability of forgetting the password

In actual situations, users often choose simple passwords that are easy to remember and meet the minimum requirements of Internet applications; and such simple passwords are easily deciphered by illegal hackers using dictionaries, rainbow tables, etc. serious threat

Some technical solutions provided by the existing technology can remember the user's complex password, and when the user uses the Internet application, the password is automatically filled in, and the user does not need to memorize the high-strength password; on the surface, these technical solutions seem to solve the problem of password memory. problem, but the implementation of this technical solution is closely bound to the Internet equipment, once the Internet equipment is lost or illegally used without authorization, it may pose a hidden danger to the user's network security
