Or sites that force you to have a password between a short range of characters (6-10? Really?), or sites that don't allow special characters, or sites that only allow alpha-numberic. I have no clue why some sites force you to use less secure passwords, but it drives me insane. Password management on the web is in a terrible state.
The worst example I ever met was a web forum which allowed maximum five characters (and my bank...for hell, why doesn't the web interface accept 20 chars long passwords - we are talking about money here!)
OpenID isn't without it's share of security issues, but I think it at least solves the password issue; I can't wait until I can use my gmail OpenID everywhere ;).
GMail has OpenID?!
