It rejected what I would consider a very strong password ... I hope they understand that making passwords harder just encourages people to write them down, which is actually less secure in the long run. You figure since they took so long to fix it; they would at least do it right instead of going nuts. FAIL.
Not sure what his process is or what he considered strong passwords however I feel my prior password was strong enough for general use such as this while my Truecrypt and PGP passphrases are 27 characters long I don't see the need to input passwords longer than 8-10 characters on Gox if the hash is salted and protected. From a security standpoint when I deal with users if the requirement for long and strong passwords is to great they will just store those passwords in an unsafe manner (post it note on monitor). In this case I had to go with something a bit more complex than I normally use so thank you RoboForm but I suspect many users will end up creating a text file with all their passwords and probably name it "passwords.txt"
Now what gets me is how poorly banks are setup when it comes to password access. My primary bank will only take 8 alpha characters, no numeric or symbols and the last time I checked capitalization did not matter meaning they don't hash anything.
If they are going to verify each account based on proof using past IP address tables or balance inquiries they have a long road ahead.

Mine says "The password for this account is invalid, or this account is not currently under claim process." I don't know if that means my account password was strong enough, because it definitely is the right password. Anybody have this happen?
Hey,
just wanted to say that you can claim your MtGox account back:
https://claim.mtgox.com/
Seems that the MtGox staff will check every single account, oh boy.
