RE: Password start with digit - another question

Yes, but the legal folks can sit back and say, "We have done all we can to protect our users - we are not liable." But the sad fact is that it is they who drove the security rules to such extremes that the individual had no choice!

Unfortunately, by the time a user gets done creating a password with
upper- and lower-case letters, numerals, and special characters, the
only place the password is saved is on a Yellow Sticky that gets
mounted on the side of the user's monitor! It's even more of a problem
when the password changes every "n" days!

It can be even worse if all of the 'password security' features are
activated- can't have 2 numerals next to each other. Can't use the a
character in the same position it had in the previous password.

Give me a word (yes, a dictionary word) and a number tacked on the back
end-- how much -less- secure is that than a 'license plate number'
password stuck on the side of the monitor?? Especially when you
consider that most systems will disable the profile (and maybe the
device) after 3 wrong guesses.
