One of the most annoying offenders of this is the windows wireless configuration utility. It refuses to let you see the WEP key that you are typing, but insists that you type it twice. If it were something like "what is your favorite flavor of popsicls" and not "type this random 58 character sting of hex", then that might be acceptable, but it isn't. Really, who is going to be standing over your shoulder and memorize that? /drives me insane //iwconfig ath0 essid "blueberry struedel" key $foo ftw
