CREATING AND TESTING PASSWORD RULES BASED ON PATTERNS IN THE AUTHINFO DATASET.

The collected information will be used for research purposes only. (The information collected is your username so do not use any username that can be used to identify you. The username is only for the purpose of sorting the information. The passwords created during the testing will also be used so do not use the passwords. No information that can identify you will be collected or stored. This data is collected so I can analyze how people react to different rules for passwords to avoid password patterns that were found in the AUTHINFO DATASET with over 10 million passwords. There are 3 different methods that have been created and I would like you to test them. and answer 5 questions about each password rule. and if you wish, you can provide written feedback at the end. the questions will be 1 to 10 questions and a question asking you how long it took to create the password. It will only take about 5 to 10 minutes to answer the questions and test the rules.

Important: Remember to click next after the Rule Set 3 questions so that you get to the page that says "Your responses have been saved." and asks for optional feedback, otherwise nothing will be saved. It is crucial to remember that passwords are collected, so do not use passwords you create in this form.
