Reduce entropy

Open codeincontext opened this issue 13 years ago • 0 comments

Reducing the number of colors available will make it dramatically harder to use a hash to reverse-engineer a password, as each pattern could be derived from a large number of potential passwords.

There should still be enough entropy for a user to recognise a mis-typed password, however I imagine it wouldn't take much to meet that requirement.
