A combination of things... first, by then there will be more things in
place that will matter more; second, the pw validator will very likely be
less stringent; third, I predict that within the next nine months, a major
online banking site such as PayPal will have a major fiasco in the news with
tens or hundreds of thousands of user accounts having been either cracked
via a distributed stealth parallel cracking system or DoS'd through a
distributed and carefully orchestrated DoS attack based on the principle that
they lock someone of their account out if a small number of multiple login
attempts fail rather than having more stringent pw requirements and allowing
a larger number of fails.
