Yes. Security is great, but good interaction is better. And there is such a thing as self-defeating security, also.
Take AKO's (Army Knowledge Online) password requirements: 2 or more lowercase letters 2 or more uppercase letters 2 or more numbers 2 or more symbols (*&^...@!,.;< so on) And at least 10 characters long. It changes once every 3 months and stores the last 10 passwords to prevent you from repeating. This is annoying, and also pretty-much forces the user to write his password down. I shake my head every time I see it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
