This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

that's unforgiveable.
Unless there's some kind of hyper-audit requirements, but even then I can;t see why it'd need to be like that.

Sort of reminds me of 1980s software.

We had some piece of crap that you'd fill in a huge form on, maybe 30 fields. If you got anything wrong, maybe a number where it wanted a letter, etc, it'd pop up an error message then return you to the now EMPTY form.

I got one letter wrong in the original post - "does not" should have been "does now"
as in "does now contain a facility for users to change their own passwords."

Hah
Maybe dumping the whiole thing when you get a letter wrong really is a good idea.
