This talk will highlight work from two upcoming papers at Financial Cryptography and USEC which includes the first empirical data on how humans choose numerical PINs or multi-word passphrases. Combined with the increasing amount of data on password choice, we can introduce new statistical metrics to evaluate the security provided by human-chosen distributions.
