If you have to call fidelity over the phone you have to do this stupid thing where you enter your password as numbers on the phone pad. This negates the value of most special characters (other than '*') and capital letters. Hopefully it's monitored like crazy. For those of us with complex passwords where entering them in will take longer to proc…
