As per companies putting in restrictions on the passwords - i feel its quite like the statutory warning thats on cigarette wrappers - even after those warnings companies like Marlboro get sued a dime a dozen time by customers whose health has been affected due to cigarette smoking. Who know when a customer's account could get hacked and he might sue the company because it did force him/her to use a strong password :) Check out point No 9 on this page : http://www.ecommnet.co.uk/products/mxtreme/emailsecurityThreats.asp
