[BlindTlk] Help buying a smart phone please...

[Jude DaShiell]

Unfortunately, these phones don't export passwords.  When I get
passwords and when I remember I write those down in braille.  If other
braille users are around, I can always use encryption.

One simple technique for encryption has everything broken into 5 letter
groups and the first letter is a clear letter but every letter after
that first letter gets added to the last letter.  An example, the word
letter encrypts like this:
lqkejd.

Alphabet has 26 letters in it unless you want to put upper-case and
numbers in which case the character set has 62.
To make things easy, lower-case upper-case then numbers in that order
could lay out the character set.
For password encryption if you went beyond letters and numbers and that
happens often you'd have to use the whole 95-character printing set
omitting the space.
