Microsoft has published a new web based tool which has the stated aim of "Preventing weak passwords by reading your mind". The new tool is snappily called Telepathwords and was built by researchers from Microsoft Research (MSR) and a Carnegie Mellon University PhD student intern.Does Microsoft's Telepathwords know what you will type next?
Telepathwords works by utilising the knowledge and data Microsoft has of common passwords, such as those made public from past security breaches. Also common phrases and searches on the web are considered as are other password choosing behaviours such as typing keys from your keyboard due to their position; like qazwsx or, heaven forbid, 123456.
