Apparatus, system, and method for context-sensitive rolling password generation

A system comprising:

• an information handling system having hardware and software resources;
• a security mechanism that controls access to the resources of the information handling system by means of a password;
• an inspection module that accepts entry of at least a new portion of a password by a user into the security mechanism and determines a candidate for a dynamic parameter within the password;
• an analysis module that recommends to the user a context-sensitive interpretation of the dynamic parameter;
• and
• a confirmation module that receives a selection by the user of the context-sensitive interpretation.
