PASSWORD ENCODE CARD SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A method of encoding a password in an electronic login process over a computerized network comprising:
- a) at a user computer, accessing the computerized network to navigate to a login page of a first desired service;
b) selecting the first desired service on a physical password encode card, wherein the selection of the first desired service further comprises selecting a first substitution cipher that translates input characters into encoded characters, further wherein the physical password encode card provides for the selection of a plurality of desired services each having a different substitution cipher;
c) using the first substitution cipher provided by the physical password encode card to encode a master password into a first encoded master password;
d) inputting the first encoded master password into the user computer; and
e) at the user computer, transmitting the first encoded master password to the login page of the first desired service over the computerized network.

Abstract
A system and method is presented for use of a password encode card to create multiple random passwords at a variety of computerized service providers. The encode card contains a plurality of ciphers, each assigned to a different service provider. Using only a single memorized master password, the user encodes the master password using the appropriate cipher and then uses the encoded password at that service provider. The card can be implemented as a plurality of substitution ciphers printed on a single card, or as an electronic card capable of either displaying a plurality of substitution ciphers or of implementing the plurality of ciphers on the inputted text of the master password.

16. An electronic password encode card comprising:
-
a) a processor; b) a display; c) non-volatile memory containing a plurality of substitution ciphers, each substitution cipher being associated in the memory with a desired service label; d) a battery providing power to the processor, the display, and the non-volatile memory; and e) programming to instruct the processor to; i) receive selection inputs to allow a user to select from the plurality of substitution ciphers, ii) display on the display the selected service label for the selected substitution cipher, iii) display on the display a conversion chart for the selected substitution cipher that displays a conversion for each character of a master password into at least one encoded character. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
