Yes but if my bank is quite happy with a 4 digit numeric pin, whats
the problem with a 7 digit alpha numeric number plate. Just how many
people use a bank pin thats is infact there birthday etc....

As for websites that need passwords but don't justify it I think the
most common password is either qwerty or abcdefg......
