Hey Chris – interesting perspective, and thanks for commenting. I’m with you on the different requirements posed by various sites (username must be X characters on one site, Y on another..etc) but I still find I manage to get away with maybe 5 different combinations of u/p ranging from strong to horribly weak (all depending on context). My browser does a fair bit of the work, and I always know I can fall back on the “forgotten password” link if I need it. I’m still not sure this is a widespread requirement though, even taking on board the fact that you’re not a geek 😉

Good that you like AthensDA. My day job is with Eduserv…
