Writing a program to shift the characters in a string 2 places to the
left on the keyboard is trivial. It's a simple mapping that can be
done with a loop over (1) a case statement in bash / Korn shell, (2) a
hash (associative array) in Perl or (3) a switch statement in C/C++.

This would not be a good method for creating a password if you use a
dictionary word or proper noun as input. (But this is better than
using "password" as your password.)
