I'm amazed on how complex and sophisticated the Lugnet password system is.
There are the password suggestions, Password strength analyzer which even
includes an internal dictionary and gives you the CPU time that it took to
analyze the password... I tried P4#$37FG and it barely passed. Ability to
have multiple passwords (which means having a separate database table just for
the passwords), retire old passwords, etc, etc.
The funny thing is that the password doesn't really protect anything other
than the rating system and one's collection ... the last time I checked I
could post under someone else's username :-P
