Samuel Mores required knowing what the frequencies of the letters of the alphabet were so that he could assign simple codes to that letter on his invention, the single wire telegraph. So what is a strong password? I believe in Morse theory, based on that, I expect if a password uses letters with higher frequency, they are notoriously weak passwords. How do we create a string password? More so, how do we make a strong password that can be remembered? First, you take the common characteristic of a strong password, that being it’s length.

Special Characters (symbols) You might be thinking to yourself, “I usually use a four digit date and a four to six letter word, I remember that.” That’s not good enough anymore. You can use l33t speak. L33t is an alternate alphabet where you use special characters to replace letters, which the symbols or characters represent similar characteristics of the letter it replaces. For instance, the letter ‘A’ can be represented in leet as a 4 or @. The letter ‘S’ could be a $ or a 5. I took from Morse theory and created an algorithm to take the more frequent used letters and replace them with a leet representative.
