Yes, that helps with part of the problem, though not autotyping, of course, or multiple or question and answer type passwords. I thought some thought would already have gone into this. I can see why the separators are there (in case there are more than ten characters), but I'd have thought that's quite unusual for this kind of password. Perhaps treat unseparated digits as if they were separated if the password has fewer than 10 characters (that's not ambiguous AFAICS).
