How secure is your password?

[Griselda]

Someday we will have one common digital signature that we can use everywhere.

I hope not! If somebody finds my password due to a security flaw of a computer game I play (for example), I don't want them to be able to get into my banking information!

Something that annoys me are sites that put arbitrary restrictions on the passwords you can use. I think that it's a good idea to disallow dictionary words and require numerals, but when you have to have a password that's *exactly* 10 characters long, for example, must contain upper case letters, lower case letters, and numerals, and can't have more than 2-3 in a row of any of those, it becomes unlikely that you'll be able to use a password that you'll remember at that site.

I have no trouble remembering my computer passwords, but can't always remember which one I used for a particular site. So, I don't like getting locked out after 3 tries. Something like 10 would still prevent brute force, but help regular but forgetful users like me.
