Password rant...

[watervole]

If a password with two symbols, a mixture of upper and lower case letters and three numerals isn't strong enough for Paypal, then what the **** is? 

I'm trying to set up a new Paypal account and all my password suggestions are being rejected, apart from one it decided was strong, and then rejected a page later for having an accent (which it didn't).

I've given up for now.  This is hitting the RSI too badly.

I use a firefox addon called lastpass that can generate and keep track of passwords for you. When paypal rejects your password you could just ask lastpass to generate another one rather than thinking one up yourself.

I prefer passwords I can remember. You never know when you'll be on a strange computer and need to use your password.
