The PIC allows you to create a code which contains lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and numbers. That means any one part of the code could contain one of (26 + 26 + 10) 62 characters. That's over 56 billion possible different combinations with just six letters. I'd call that pretty good.
I thought someone said in the "recently hacked" thread that even 8 char PW didnt take that long to crack...

Why not indeed, the more the better.

How is making your account safer not practical?!
I cant see why anyone would make a PIC with less than maximum characters...
