silly security

Apparently, BestBuy.com doesn't let you include special characters in your account password. I tried 4 different passwords, all of which followed the stated guidelines (6 to 30 characters, must include at least 1 number), and yet were rejected. Then I tried one without any special characters, and it was accepted.

Yeah, that annoys the hell out of me. My standard password has punctuation in it, and I get frustrated by systems that tell me that I can't have them. How hard can it be to build a system that can cope with punctuation???
