Unfortunately the flaw in the system is that is someone mis-remembers the words slightly, so engine, windows, club, then where on earth is that - the next block over, 100 miles away, 1000?
Nowhere near so close!
engine.doors.club - Rockford, Illinois, USA
engine.windows.club - Jining, Shandong Sheng, China
But if you forget the doors/windows are plural....
engine.door.club - Broadview Heights, Ohio, USA ... only 400ish miles from engine.doors.club, but ...
engine.window.club - Highmore, South Dakota, USA ... a long way from China!
And if you get the order wrong...
engine.club.doors - Clayton, Bradford, UK
engine.club.windows - Hamadān, Iran
And yet funnily enough the enormously intelligent journalists never mention this whenever this marvelous new invention is mentioned...

You joke but I had a system at work refuse to accept any password I tried as it wouldn't accept 'real words' even though what I was trying wasn't.
In a fit of annoyance I tried 'abcd1234' - perfectly acceptable, so I carried on using that.
