I've found that some people are very good at guessing passwords. I don't know
about other people, but I find that if I try to have passwords that are the
recommended style of mixed upper and lower case and special characters that I
can't remember them for any length of time unless I write them down and many
are hell to type error free.
What I'd like to see on sites like paypal is an email everytime someone tried
to login. It would give you an early warning that something was wrong. -Doug
