But I wonder if it really will help those who have trouble with passwords - it 
requires the user to visualize the word("where" in the word the user is ie.) 
from one letter. It will also look "flurry" when you type. I think the 
behavior requires logical and spatial thinking above average.
And regarding the guy who had a long password.. I wonder if there's any point 
in having a long password when such an insecure behavior will get enabled ;-)


Cheers,
