Enforce a better password policy - our work password policy is minimum
8 characters, and 3 out of the 4 of the following:
Upper Case
Lower case
Number
Special Character - any shift + top row number) - ie !@#$%^&*(

By this policy hellowhowareyou wouldn't work because it only has lower
case letters. Neither would Hellowhoware you since it only has 2 of
the 4. But Hellohowareyou4 would.

Or IP based authentication maybe?
