[IxDA Discuss] email address as username

[SPatrick at amig.com]

Speaking of strong passwords... I recently signed up for a BBS that
enforced a strong password. There were so many rules to the password that
it took me three tries to put in one that the system liked... and now I
have no idea what that password is. When I'm signing up for something like
a BBS that just isn't that important, let me enter any password I want!!!
Retain the super secure model for bank websites.

Rant over ;)

I absolutely agree with Giles on this. If you want to ensure security
make sure the passwords are strong.
