Project description

When creating passwords, one is often forced to comply with certain regulations.
A password for your Bauhaus-Universität Weimar account, for example, also requires at least one uppercase letter, lowercase letters, special characters, etc. Such passwords are very difficult to remember. And are they really more secure due to these regulations? Are there other methods to create secure passwords
that are also easy to remember?
