[Year 12 IT Apps] Keyboard Swipe and Security

I have seen a pupil using a keyboard swipe to access password protected sites, software and files.

He literally 'swipes' his finger across the home row keys on a qwerty keyboard.

His password is: ASDFGHJKL;'[enter]

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a keyboard swipe.

(The kid is not in my IT class, so I take no personal responsibility for his stoopid password...I did have a chat with him when I saw him do it, though)

Regards,
