As quoted from <43908 at ccicpg.UUCP> by nick at ccicpg.UUCP (Nick Crossley):
+---------------
| I realise that there are differences; Unix users choose their own (easily

+---------------

At least some banks let the applicant for an ATM card select his/her own PIN
(password).  Which makes things rather worse.
