In that case, you may as well not bother allowing us to change passwords
since we can only change to one just as random and hard to remember,
which will also go up on a yellow sticky on the monitor like the current
one is... (if I worked in an office I wouldn't do that, but since I work
from my home no-one else is going to see the array of yellow stickies
except me, and I don't post the $$-related ones).
Seriously, I'm pretty good at remembering weird numbers (I have my
library card PIN, bank card PIN, and several bank account #s memorised)
but I am getting totally over-passworded lately and it's just not
possible to remember them all. What's going to be so earth-shatteringly
important in the member facilities on LUGNET that you have to force a
password which is far tighter than the ones I use to access my bank and
CC accounts over the net?
