Yep, I work with Oil Traders who are reasonable tech savvy, and for some reason they hate the idea of a password that long. It's good to see @dan is open to change. The problem isn't Steemit, it more the fact that people are getting frustrated with a amount of passwords they have, the variation they are having to come up with to satisfy certain websites criteria, and Steemit's 16-character minimum is too stressful to think about.. Thanks for your contribution.
