Abstract
A technique controls access to a resource. The technique includes deriving, by processing circuitry, a password based on a phrase/thought provided by a user. The technique further includes confirming with the user that the password is to control access to the resource. The technique further includes, after confirming with the user that the password is to control access to the resource, imposing a requirement that the user provide the password before obtaining access to the resource. Such a password may be formed by concatenating multiple words (e.g., four words) that may be unrelated to each other. Such a password may be relatively strong since the resulting concatenation would not be found in any dictionary, and since it would be an extremely difficult and time consuming endeavor to predict such a password by attempting to combine words from a dictionary to form the concatenations.
