that's a fair comment. and it's true, it can become a bit unwieldy.
I'm just looking at the number of characters entered in each case:
PIN: 4, password:8+

you get used to it, especially when it becomes a standard thing to do
(hotmail/GMail  accounts, etc). One way around could be variations on
a theme, although I did have trouble logging in to GMail from an
internet cafe in Switzerland a few years ago - I just couldn't find
the characters I use on the keyboard!

big assumption. my 13yo has had a hotmail account (and therefore a
password for it) ever since he was 10. Kids are a lot more "NET savvy"
than we think (or that parents feel comfortable with)

not knocking your (valid) points, Stephen. just adding to the discourse.
