Why doesn't Mac OS X have helpful warning messages like this one?http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en;276304Longer passwords are certainly more secure!

"and Cannot Repeat Any of Your Previous 30689 Passwords"

It'll also help improve memory.

Well, it could be worse: What if you needed 18770 different characters...


What puzzles me is: why 18770?

Apple's password article (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106521) is much less interesting.

Nah... my favourite password, courtesy of Dogbert/Scott Adams, is simply ******. :D
