Rearranging the keys? My password’s pretty much muscle memory, typed fast enough in not really worried about people watching me enter it. Call me lazy, but having to pick and hit every key? No thanks.

Especially, this would be less secure since you have to search the keys every time and give the attacker time to read which key you typed. Best Password is no Password (private key).
