Combination of 2 buttons, like shift one letter, do increase the hassle. In the term of action, no matter digit or letter, any button equates each other cuz the action required are all to click once. But regards to memory, combination of letter and digit certainly adds to the load.
Some websites dont distinguish capital letter with normal one, in this case neither shift button nor Caps button is needed, so there's no combination of 2 buttons. Password is not allowed to contain elements appear in username. This is to avoid hackers may figure out the password just by guessing. But if the stealer is an acquaintance, he or she may try your birthday or some other data, which are not included in username, then what to do? My ponits are: 1) avoid using two buttons to type one letter or digit 2) pressing "1" equates pressing "a" cuz the action are both to press once per se. 3) a research based on certain culture may needed to identify what kind of passwords are easy to remember . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
