I was on vacation for a little while. Come back and learn that my password (6 characters with numbers) is no good anymore. Security now requires "Passwords must be 8-12 characters, 1 capital letter, and 1 numeral". I am sorry for the language but this is NUTS. Each web site tries to outpassword the next. Who can remember all the passwords? And what for? Is somebody going to spend time to crack 6 letter password and vote for the wrong Inventor feature? My bank recently told me that ATM passcode can be max 4 numbers and they don't see any security risk in that.
KISS

It's really dumb when you cannot use Internet Explorer WITH
the user name and password. So, there is NO security on the newsgroup
anyway.
I remember my first flight after 9/11. After passing through
the armed National Guard patrols, and suffering through a long and highly
extensive security search, which included losing my wallet temporarily after
an elderly lady accidentally walked off with my wallet thinking it was her
husband's, I finally "passed all tests". Then, walking through the "secure"
side of the airport, at one bar and restaurant, I observed a cook standing at
the bar with a 10 inch butcher knife in his hand...... and the security "fear"
persists today. We are no more safe on the airlines today, than we were then,
even after spending billions and billions of dollars, losing our freedoms, and
embracing Homeland Security for the illusion of safety.
I'm glad I can still walk the streets at night just like my
parents did in the 30s, 40s and 50s, because I don't walk with fear in my
heart.
