on using passwords or passphrases of adequate complexity, making such an attack computationally infeasible for the attacker. Some systems, such as PGP and Wi-Fi WPA, apply a computation-intensive hash to the password to slow such attacks, in a technique known as key stretching.

Limits on the number of password guesses

An alternative to limiting the rate at which an attacker can make guesses on a
