alternate fingering password list?

I remember finding a list of words that alternate between left and right hands when typing. eg "apricot" They are supposedly good for passwords becuase it is hard for anyone physically looking at you to tell what you're typing. anyone know where this list of words might be. Googling has revealed nothing.

thanks

No idea on the list, but here's a few I could come up with

apache
antithesis (close anyway)
jalen
widow

That's harder than I thought it would be
Of course I don't type correctly, so it doesn't nessecarily work for me...

lol....I am interested to know why u need so much security..of course, dont tell me if you'll have to kill me afterwards!

Seriously...do you have peeps standing over your shoulder?

Maybe if you curl your fingers more...like a barely open fist..and move the hand up till the big knuckles are about even with the asdf row...it will be near impossible for them to tell what you are typing cuz the back of the hand hides the fingers.

Or...fake tap on certain letters (takes practice, lol)

LOL @ JP, you're a password master

My brother moves his fingers over one key for his home row to encrypt his password. i.e. instead of J and F as the index finger keys, he uses G and K, maybe you could try something like that...

well they say you are s'posed to use letters, numbers, alternate "cases" etc etc.

But it has to be something you can memorize.
