Springpad security

While trying to get Springpad to run this morning, I made an error in my passphrase on the penultimate attempt. Now running, Springpad came back wiith "Incorrect password for user tel-et-tel". Wrong ! 

The correct response would be  "Incorrect user name or password."   OR.

What can a private notebook be worth if the vendor is that slack?

Linkedin passwords

My two twitter posts this A.M. were the question:

Q  is http://linkedin.com still accepting dumb passwords from users ?

#linkedin

linkedin rejected 2 moronic efforts but allowed me 'password~2' Do any pass-phrases begin with 'pass' + 'word' ?
