Assuming the algorythm used picked the correct passphrase on the last try. ;) Seriously though, if the system is capable of storing a 63 (or 39) character which is what the standard allows, then shouldn't there be an easy way of entering it, otherwise why have the capability. Manufacturers have implemented easier key distribution systems, why shouldn't the SB have something that also facilitates strong(er,est) key distribution.
