Listen and learn: Ed talk 
A one page introduction to the topic, importance, challenges, and solutions for password fatigue can be found in the document on this landing page... https://www.kellinghaus.com/password-cryptography-training.html
Definitions
Password salting: A method of mitigating password re-use by including service or site names in passwords (Kävrestad et al., 2020).
Passphrases: Longer passwords that are created by combining more than one word together (Woo & Mirkovic, 2018).
Password distortion: A distortion function helps to break semantics within passwords by having users apply simple linear or non-linear functions, such as mathematical functions applied to each number in a password.
Direct instruction, instructional animation, and Kagan engagement strategies will be employed. Learners will watch an animated instructional video on the a 3 step password cryptography method. The Vyond animation video will be a video currently being edited and used with participants for the presenters dissertation. The video will be in the style of the this video created by the instructor... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjQ5_zpyi64.
Evidence of success - Participants will create a unique easy to recall password with a tested "time to crack" of more than 1,000 years.
1st - Learners will create a unique password and test the entropy of the password using a password checker at passwordmonster.com that will calculate the number of years it would take to crack the password using brute force. They will share their entropy results with partners at their table. The presenter will invite participants to share if they've ever had a password breached, as well as any legal or financial consequences.
2nd - Learners will receive direct instruction on the challenges of poor passwords and current data on the consequences.
3rd - Learners will watch a brief animated video and receive direct instruction from the presenter on a 3 step password cryptography strategy that includes passphrases, password salting and password cryptography.
4th - Learners will practice creating a unique and easy to recall password.
5th - Learners will test their password creation skills using a password checker at passwordmonster.com that will calculate the number of years it would take to crack the password using brute force. They will share their results with whole group and the participants with very high entropy will receive an "I Love Entropy" sticker.

I will also share the my final dissertation that will be completed in May, 2023.
