Sorry, my bad. I meant 'that is the problem', as in what you stated is the problem. But your statement is right of course.

It couldn't have been my statement that was the problem - I'm always right (and check my interview if you don't believe me).

Then what is safe? I suppose a password is waay better than nothing. I suppose we'll eventually all use biometric scanners, but it's sorta difficult to implement if most people don't have a fingerprint scanner.

Default Re: Password Security
I would allow the user to choose a password but require certain things:
  1. A certain length (like it must be 10 characters)
  2. Contain upper case and lowercase characters
  3. numbers
  4. characters that you have to push shift for such as (@, ^)
