Spelling always counts, but we canât always count on folks to know how to spell. I have to admit- doing cartoons and comic strips over the years has improved my spelling, if not my grammar.
Yes â computers are not forgiving of spelling errors â especially for passwords. I, though, can forgive spelling errors by commenters. Punctuation errors also.
Try being a computer admin for a large group, my passwords need to be over 14 characters using symbols, upper and lower case letters and numbers. I have over 12 system passwords to remember and none can be the same. And they can not repeat the same password for the last 6 times over I believe 6 months. And the wife wonders why I never remember anything, all my RAM and storage in the brain is full of access codes.
Seneca College (where I go to schoolâŠ) requires us to change our passwords every ⊠45 days. Between my three semesters a year, I changed my passwords 9 TIMES in 2012!!
Oh, I almost forgot the ârulesâ they have setup, to âkeep personal data safeâ.
Must be between 6 and 16 characters long.May not contain whitespace characters (i.e. space, tab, etc.).May not contain English dictionary words longer than 4 letters: matched case insensitive, matched forwards and backwards.Must have at least 2 of the following characteristics:1 digit, 1 non alphanumeric character, 1 upper case letter, 2 lower case lettersMay not contain your username: matched case insensitive, matched forwards and backwards.May not contain common keyboard sequences (eg. 12345, aaaaa): matched case insensitive, matched forwards and backwards.Examples of valid passwords (you MAY NOT use one of these as your password): IHmp2sy, mmisagc!, Tpi2h2r, 1cscmp, i1han4eicmp

And BTW, I wonder why my spell-check keeps flagging âcommentersâ, then puts up âcommenterâ as a possible correction.

Sorry Toby.

Maybe he needs a shorter password than âpasswordâ.
