Technology should not be used to manage people's behavior.

While this view has some merit, it also should not be universal.  For
instance, in those environments where static passwords are required, the
use of tools help ensure compliance with "strong" password rules is a
Good Thing.  I would say that, in general, using technology to implement
security policy wherever possile is a good idea.  It helps reduce
mistakes and may even prevent malicous behavior.
