The Utility of Verbal & Phonetic Passwords
In customer service, technical support, or remote IT provisioning, users frequently need to dictate a temporary password over the phone or radio. Spelling out complex symbols like # % ^ & * is fraught with confusion and miscommunication.
Pronounceable passwords use alternating consonant-vowel combinations that can be clearly enunciated, while ending with a random digit to maintain high entropy against dictionary attacks.
