Howdy!
I would be more inclined to agree with Lanwench that this is a 'Social
Engineering' problem. If someone cannot remember / enter correctly a user
name and password then I am not sure that there is any technology that is
going to help him / her. In fact, the good ole pad of paper and a really
good #2 pencil might just be the solution - well, not really!
It is unfortunate that there are people out there in the work force like
this, but there are. I think that this just makes things more interesting.
