Please fix the Digg password policy.
Digg only allows characters a-z, A-Z and 0-9 for passwords. I would like to set a stronger password with special characters. Just about every other site can do this. Please enhance Digg's password policy to allow special characters to be used.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?It is worse than that. If they were storing passwords securely (hashed w/ salt, please) then they wouldn't care what you put in as a password. It would all get converted into a hash and compared with the hash in the database. The only reason you need to restrict character input on a password is if that password is being stored in plain text.
I hope no one is reusing a password on digg that they use elsewhere. God forbid if the db gets compromised.

Inappropriate?Just wanted to add to my own problem report:
Digg sez:
Sorry - Only the characters a-z, A-Z and 0-9 are allowed in passwords
Sorry - Password needs to be between 4 and 15 characters long.
Digg, please fix this!
