Fun fact: you can actually set a good password when you create a virgin media account but then you won't actually be able to login as the password is rejected by their front-end for being too long. And just in case you thought you could do a password reset, their password reset page doesn't work.

I encountered that problem with the payment system for my city water bill a few years ago, I always hoped it would be a problem restricted to small town stuff with no budget for security.
