An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and
storage medium for determining trivial keyboard sequences of proposed
passwords. The system comprises a user system with associated keyboard
input device; a server in communication with the user system via a
communications link; a data storage device coupled to the server, the
data storage device housing a database including a keyboard profile for
specifying a physical layout of character and function keys on the
computer keyboard input device; a master password database including a
user account associated with the user system; and a password verification
mechanism executable by the server. Upon execution, the password
verification tool performs an algorithm on the proposed password and
determines triviality according to criteria specified in the algorithm.
The physical layout of character and function keys is specified by a
graphical representation of the computer keyboard input device; an X axis
horizontally spanning the graphical representation; and a Y axis
vertically spanning the graphical representation. Each of the character
and function keys is assigned a unique data coordinate set identifying
positional placement values. The network system also includes an
identifier assigned to the keyboard profile indicating manufacturer and
model data. A keyboard profile, a method and storage medium for
determining triviality of proposed passwords are also included.
