Special needs students and passwords

[Stewart James <Stewart.James () VU EDU AU>]

Hi all,

I have had a question about relaxing password restrictions for special needs students. Some suffer shakiness, memory 
loss and other special requirements.

How are other institutes handling access for those students:

*         Where reliably entering  passwords is an issue?

*         Short term memory retention may be an issue?

Thanks,

Stewart
