| User ID | Identity | |
| Passphrase | Password | People don't know what a passphrase is, but they know passwords. Renaming passwords to passphrases doesn't help to increase their strength. |
| Public/private key | Key | Don't try to explain the concept of public key cryptography. People don't want to know it, it should work seamlessly |
