Might you developing a base 36 version? #10

It will be interesting if I might print on paper (from a previously generated pdf file) a vault password to bring with me during a trip or to safely store at home.

If a dictatorship's police or any aggressive entity find it, it can only read numbers and characters without any sense.

0 ~ 9 A ~ Z (uppercase)

Good idea for a new app.

  1. Please open a new issue for that here: cyb3rko/backpack-apps
  2. I'm working on the base structure for the backpack-apps. Once finished I can start working on other similiar apps.
  3. Why only base36? Because you couldn't save special characters like # or . right? I think the easiest choice is just using a standard char.

I mean in pairs, like these:

05 75 2F 77 66 5E 18 96 B5 BC 98 16 74 D5 71 9B 39 B2 4F 9C AA B3 F7 12 1E 17 02 BF 73 40 45 F7 1B

In my idea the password can be spread on multiple table sheets (1 ~ 12).

Oh okay. Are the shown numbers an example? I could not extract data from that example.

Yes, they are an example. Tables of course must be wide, at least 18 x 18.

I had another idea, maybe nice.

You have to invent skins, which are pre-existing maps and are numbered: downloadable from the internet and applicable on the tables to find the password.

The skins must be of the same size as the table: if the table is 18x18 then the skin will also be chosen.

Let me know if you understand my idea and if you find it of interest.

The skins are millions so only you know what is good for your pattern/password.

When you need it, you download it from the internet. The more skins community draw, the better.
