I've used the same password for years, nobody has a hope in hell of
ever guessing it. I can remember it.

Recently some site insist on having numbers as well, so I've had to add one.

Now the bloody things want an upper case letter as well!

How the 'kinell does that make anything more secure?

Surely it's my choice, not some bell end running a web site?

This joke sums it up;

================================================= =======================

boiled cabbage
Sorry, the password must contain 1 numerical character.
1 boiled cabbage
Sorry, the password cannot have blank spaces.
50frigginboiledcabbages

50FRIGGINboiledcabbages
Sorry, the password cannot use more than one upper case character
consecutively.

Didn't they ask you for your mobile phone number to send a confirmatory
text. They don't seem to be able to cope with the fact that land lines
can now receive texts.
