Abstract
A technique for generating passwords. The technique includes displaying objects, enabling a degree of simplicity to be set for a password, and generating a password in accordance with the established degree of simplicity. The technique also includes superimposing and displaying a secondary object icon for at least one secondary object available to a primary object on top of the primary object icon for the primary object, and the superimposing and display entails either superimposing and displaying a display on the superimposed secondary object icon to indicate whether or not the superimposed secondary object is available on the basis of the degree of simplicity, or changing the superimposed secondary object icon so as to differentiate the availability of the superimposed secondary object on the basis of the degree of simplicity.
