Yes, so I have heard. It seems that being able to remember the code was more important than the complexity,

Of course, making it difficult for someone to look into someone else's account at for instance ebay is far more important than avoiding a new world war. Seems like you have to be really smart to understand the logic behind this. Smart enough to be the president of a big country, should make you qualified, I guess.
