c'mon man. can't you understand. it's easy. the bottomline here is to
implement security. that's why someone answered your post to use
alphanumeric characters. and with a minimum lenght. plain passwords which
contain alphabet are very easy to crack. they can use a dictionary style for
cracking passwords. i hope you get it this time. and btw, if you're going to
implement multiple domain model, then use the one username/password model
since domain cross-authentication is supported by microsoft using trust
relationship.
