Answers to Questions (FAQ)
What is a password variation? (Definition)
Writing a password is case-sensitive, space-sensitive and separative, so a single word can be written in many different and complex ways.
A password is case-sensitive (uppercase and lowercase), space-sensitive and may contain separators, so a single word can be written in many different and complex ways.
Example: Users that are used to have the (bad) habit of using azerty as a password, can make it slightly more complex by adding a number azerty1, a special character azerty! or replacing a letter with another character @zerty
How to list variations of a password?
dCode makes a list of potential variants, but it is not exhaustive. Do not hesitate to propose your ideas.
Fill in the main word and its most common variations will be listed automatically
Example: dcode,DCODE,Dcode,DCode,dCode, etc.
Does a variation improve password entropy?
In information security theory, stated that the variation algorithm is known, then the entropy (strength of the password) remains unchanged and equal to that of the original password.
