Overzealous Security - Password Pain

I was just registered to comment on a website and my simple password (9 characters two alpha 6 numbers and 1 special char) was rejected as being too insecure.

It needs to have at least one Uppercase letter apparently.

Sigh.

What are you protecting here? I just wanted to post a comment – not open a bank account.

Plus, why if I signup with twitter do you want basically access to EVERYTHING?

Wow I’m glad that they don’t get my twitter password at least!
