Rotating and Incrementing Elements (cont.)

• Each time a system requests that you change your password, rotate or increment the variable element:

• <u>@<h>.<d>:<#> would result in passwords like [email protected]:1, [email protected]:2, [email protected]:3, etc.

• <u>@<h>.<d>:<fruit> would result in passwords like [email protected]:apple, [email protected]:orange, [email protected]:banana, etc.

• The only additional piece of information the user must remember in addition to the algorithm itself is the current value of the rotating or incrementing element.
