  Problem there, once the password is cracked, it's cracked for all
the other services, too.

  I suppose it might stop some unsophisticated, strictly automated
attacks, i.e., someone's got an entire database and is just going
after the low-hanging fruit.

  But ultimately, it's approaching the problem the wrong way, so
you're just going further down the wrong road.  Better to have a
working solution.
