I'm not sure what you're asking here... What I tried to say was: If I have to construct a (for me) strange password, 'just to please the system' (that's how most users see it, at least), the probability of my remembering it is lower than if the system accepts whatever I choose. The harder it is to remember, the higher the probability that I have to keep it written down somewhere (easily accessible). -- Anders Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/proglego.htm Gallery: http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/gallery.htm
