Ah, I see what you mean. Perhaps instead of grabbing a handful of characters from /dev/urandom, you generate a passphrase (a few random dictionary words)?
Sounds like a "correct battery horse staple" would fit the bill

I don't know if it's the case elsewhere but starting 2019 all invoice payments in Switzerland will use mandatory QR codes. https://www.paymentstandards.ch/en/home/softwarepartner/qr-b... That promises to be challenging too in terms of publication of sensitive data.

Yeah, but often (usually?) the woman's maiden name replaces her middle name. E.g. Jane Elizabeth Doe -> Jane Doe Smith. I'm pretty sure my mom's maiden name is printed on her driver's license, paper checks, etc.
I know very few women that have done that TBH.

Case does not matter for URLs, HTTP://NEWS.YCOMBINATOR.COM will work perfectly, and can be encoded using qrcode's alphanumeric mode. Aztec is slightly more efficient regardless, but not by much: qr alpha is 5.5 bits symbol, Aztec is 5 bits per symbol.

Remind me of my ex-gf I had on my Facebook for a while. She liked to be show off, which I think nowadays is not that big of as deal. But she would literally invite crime to her house! On her public Facebook profile she didn't post her address, BUT she had bunch of photos: her with the Living Complex sign, her next to her doors (with apartment number on it), photos of her inside house with beautiful 85" TV and other e…
And this is also why I almost never give my real birth date when registering on websites (except on financial websites or websites where I'm legally obligated to) and I never ever give real answers to the security question.. My typical answer for a security question is something like "39arsrc uyrsrsaulsr8832r" and that's saved in a password manager Security questions weakens the security of an account, they are easil…

Case doesn't matter for the protocol or domain name but it does matter for the rest of the URL.
