It seems a bit excessive, though. Almost like they're designing a video game out of it.

I tried to put in a password, but I failed, and it instructed me how to do it correctly. But what was wrong with my initial password?
I tried to get them to send my confirmation code, but there's a period at the end of my email. Why can't the system tell where my email is just because it has a period at the end of it? To fix it I have to go all the way back and remove the period and try again.

Am I making any sense here?
