This isn't so far-fetched which is pretty scary! My wife was helping a part time employee over the phone with setting up a log-in password at a remote site she was at. She needed to come up with an 8 character password and the part timer asked my wife if the F2 key could count for 2 of the characters. My wife said no and then the lady said, "Well if that won't work what about 'TAB', can that count as 3 characters?"

I kid you not!
