I've thought about doing something like that but I'm worried about the usability issue. A lot of people will use the same password for every site so they can remember it; they register for the site and three months down the road they can't remember their password. If that happens to me I'm more likely to leave and not come back than I am to go through a password recovery process.There should be something that senses these and refuses to accept them >.>
I guess I design with the philosophy of protect the user unless it severely inconveniences them.

password recovery process on most sites takes 10-30 seconds to be into your account again with a new password. I would hardly consider that a severe inconvenience. Particularly because the password is there to protect YOU.I've thought about doing something like that but I'm worried about the usability issue.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Heh, it doesn't matter if it's actually easy to do or not, but it's demotivating. They've done massive studies on this kind of thing. Let me see if I can find a link about this kind of thing... I'm thinking of one in particular where an e-commerce site tripled their sales by not requiring users to register to buy stuff.password recovery process on most sites takes 10-30 seconds to be into your account again with a new password.

Repeat customers weren't any happier. Except for a very few who remembered their login information, most stumbled on the form. They couldn't remember the email address or password they used. Remembering which email address they registered with was problematic - many had multiple email addresses or had changed them over the years.
When a shopper couldn't remember the email address and password, they'd attempt at guessing what it could be multiple times. These guesses rarely succeeded. Some would eventually ask the site to send the password to their email address, which is a problem if you can't remember which email address you initially registered with.
(Later, we did an analysis of the retailer's database, only to discover 45% of all customers had multiple registrations in the system, some as many as 10. We also analyzed how many people requested passwords, to find out it reached about 160,000 per day. 75% of these people never tried to complete the purchase once requested.)
tl:dr; 75% of people requested a password reset and decided they no longer wished to purchase something.

It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

YepThe password is...
password

Sadly, those are the ones that work best. >.>speaking of having to use the change password function, your site has a terrible captcha >.> it takes me over ten minutes (at least) to find one that i can actually see when i forget my password here.
That's a good plan.I have an uncommon password, but when I want to use one that is nigh uncrackable I just use an accented letter or two, no one ever uses them or thinks to.
