people theorize about the possibility of using keysmashes to generate secure passwords
however, how cryptographically secure is a good keysmash? in this essay i will
probably pretty bad?
Keysmashes are often really predictable, and you can totally narrow down the range of keysmashes that one might produce based on what keyboard they're using (some keyboards can't handle n arbitrary keystrokes simultaneously, and will disregard some of them!), what keyboard layout they're using, how they learned to type, factors that might influence how they move their fingers in repetitive fashions, so on so forth.
Like, they're pretty random, but it's a fairly constrained kind of randomness.
No. Key smashes are a bad idea to generate random passwords. They're entirely predictable. Maybe if I am bored and have the time, I will demonstrate the entropy levels given from key smashing.

(it's just "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
