Special Offer for CUAs Only - License Eric's Patent to Become a Usability Hero

Password resets cost millions! Most of them are caused by caps locks being on. Dr. Eric Schaffer has patented an algorithm that can make you a usability hero by allowing you to keep the power of caps lock sensitivity in passwords while eliminating customer service calls caused by this problem.
