I've run into this problem with setting up accounts on aps on my
smartphone. A secure password that is relatively easy to type on a
regular keyboard becomes a PITA to type on a smartphone. There are a
number of sites I simply don't use on my phone because the hassle of
setting up each site's ap is greater than the benefit I get from
accessing it via the phone.
