I beg to disagree. Having the password undoes any enhanced security you get 
from having a phrase.

The only reason a user should have a password is if they are using a portal 
that does not have support for phrases, or you migrating to phrases.  But at 
some point, you need to upgrade the portal and/or remove the PASSWORD.

Something was "lost in translation". I don't say it is good to have both all the time. I mean the password is good for some *limited transition period*. Just to help people who recognized some application not ready for passphrases. Sometimes you're out of office or just busy, but the person has urgent need to logon, etc. etc.


@Dave
As I mentioned a user can have both passphrase and password, but simple ALU user NOPASSWORD makes him passphrase only. No unknown password. Just lack of password.
