Abstract
A processor executing a password manager randomly selects a first requirement and a second requirement for creating a password from a set of requirements, wherein the second requirement is selected independently of the first requirement. The processor provides the first requirement for creating the password, receives characters for the password, determines whether the characters satisfy the first requirement, and provides information that indicates whether the characters satisfy the first requirement. Responsive to the characters satisfying the first requirement, the processor provides the second requirement for creating the password.
