Encrypted words now impossible to read...

Setting up new accounts these days has become a miserable experience. Resetting passwords is equally horrendous. What I mean is that certain websites are asking people to type in bizarre words for security reasons. These ridiculous words are very long and unreadable at best. I try my hardest to make sense of the disfigured L or the outrages G, but it is to no avail. It seems like the mother fuckers in administration have concocted a way to rob person of a few minutes of his or her life.

I recently asked a website administrator about this dilemma. He answered my question very succinctly: "We are in the face of the worst recessions ever to grip this country. Why not give people a little more grief when they try to reset a password or create a new account?" The same administrator went on to say--"We try to pick a word that is hardly ever used in the English language and then we ask the person at the computer to spell it correctly. We do a good job ruffling the person's feathers so that he or she might have to second guess the right word to enter into the little box."
