How to check for numbers has been answered.  I am wondering why you are
forcing people to include numbers in their password.

Given the number of login situations (including ATMs, etc) any of us have
to deal with in out lives ( I have over a dozen for work alone), you have
to take into account how many passwords any one person can be expected to
memorize.  Since the number of login situations will probably exceed the
number of passwords anyone can memorize, developers have an option of what
they are going to do to their users.

You can be mean and include rules for passwords, which increases the
liklihood that this particular password will only be useful for one
application, and, as such, will less likely to be memorized.  Or, you can
be have no rules for passwords and let the user look after their own
security.

For the record, this is one of my pet peeves.

************************************
I'm creating a small util for generating a password, which is working fine.
What I'm have trouble doing is checking that the generated password
contains at least one number. I'm looking for an quick way to check, rather
than checking each character, which could be a problem.
