And it's stupid - it implies caps are bad for passwords when they are no worse than any other character. Much better to add a message on login failure asking to check caps and numlock status - with maybe sample drawings/animations of where those keys are usually located and what symbols are printed on them. On most euro keyboards there is no "caps lock" label printed anywhere near the caps key. The current warning is cryptic and confusing for a non-technical user. Cheers, -- Nicolas Mailhot
