Give it a whirl, lemme know what you think.  I think you'll find it's a lot
more lenient.  (I hope it's not too lenient.)

Certainly *way* easier to pass. I'd even suggest using level 3. Level 2
passes "c00l!" (just barely). Would it be possible to kick up the relative
strength of the dictionary check a bit?

I'd say level 2 is too easy.  My current password doesn't fail until level 8.
And one I'm playing with, trying to get the pattern down in my head and with
my fingers, gets an outstanding even at level 12.
