I'm not a developer, so sorry, I can't.

Can't they type a simple word, say "john" or a number, like their own 
phone number (thus easy to remember)? :-?

I suppose it doesn't accept an empty string.

Sorry, I don't know what is the difficulty for them to type a password. 
The risk of password theft (and identity replacement) is the same for 
everybody, a real risk.

The problem is that they mistype letters, perhaps, and don't notice?

Then maybe a string like "11111", the first key in the keyboard, 
repeated a number of times. Or "123456" if it doesn't accept it.


The solution would be a different technology. Fingerprint reader, 
perhaps. :-?
