Nice.
I use a similar thing for car insurance comparison web-sites where I can pick my security question. It reads something like "Is you password 10 zeds with the first one capital and the last one a digit two?" I use a non-existent e-mail address to avoid the 'marketing' where I can.
Miles better than the server where our so-called security experts insist that everyone have a random password generated for them to ensure it is not easily guessable, missing the point that everyone then has to write it down because it is not that easy to commit 12 mixed-case with numbers and punctuation to memory.

nwbpcreate
NWBPCREATE(8) nwbpcreate NWBPCREATE(8)
NAME
nwbpcreate - Create a NetWare Bindery Propery
SYNOPSIS
nwbpcreate [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] [ -o object name ] [ -t type ] [ -p property ] [ -s ] [ -r
read-flag ] [ -w write-flag ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpcreate creates the specified NetWare Bindery Propery.
nwbpcreate looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more informa-
tion. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS
-h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpcreate
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
-o object name
The name of the object to be touched.
-t object type
The type of the object. Object type must be specified as a decimal value. Common values are 1 for user objects, 2 for group objects and
3 for print queues. Other values are allowed, but are usually used for specialized applications.
-p property
The name of the property to be created.
-s
By default, nwbpcreate creates properties of type ITEM. If you want to create a property of type SET, such as groups_i'm_in, you must
use the -s option.
-r read-flag
-w write-flag
Read security and write security may each have one of the following values:
ANYONE: Anyone may access the property
LOGGED: Anyone who is logged in may access the
property
OBJECT: Anyone who is logged in as the object or
SUPERVISOR equivalent may access the
property
SUPERVISOR: Anyone who is logged in as SUPERVISOR
equivalent may access the property
NETWARE: Only the Bindery may access the property
