Most websites and applications ask users to create accounts with secure passwords so that they can provide tailored user experiences. While this tips the odds in favor of website developers, it certainly doesn't make life easier for users. [OS_EMBEDDED_MENU_RIGHT:]Sometimes the rules for creating passwords are so strict that it's hard to get a good and allowable combination.
