No it wouldn't. It would read 'Person A needs to submit a password'.

Sandman
EXACTLY! He *needs* to submit a password, that need is not born from desire, it is born out of a requirement.

Tony Cooper
And what, exactly, was the requirement or "need" born from? Why is that requirement in place?

Sandman
Because someone wanted added security.

Nothing to do with security, the genral public safety concerns but dor some maybe the words security and safety mean the same.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driver%27s_license

Karl Benz, inventor of the modern automobile, had to receive written permission from the Grand Ducal authorities to operate his car on public roads in 1888 after residents complained about the noise and smell of his Motorwagen.[1]

The first mandatory license requirement for driving was introduced in the Motor Car Act 1903 in the United Kingdom. Every car owner had to register their automobile with their local government authority and be able to prove registration of their vehicle on request.

As automobile-related fatalities soared in North America, public outcry provoked legislators to begin studying the French and German statutes as models.[5] On August 1, 1910, North America's first licensing law for motor vehicles went into effect in the U.S. state of New York, though it initially applied only to professional chauffeurs.[6] In July 1913, the state of New Jersey became the first to require all drivers to pass a mandatory examination before receiving a license.[7]

Anytime a password is a requirement, the requirement is in place because someone desired that a password requirement be in place.

Sandman
No one wanted a password, they wanted added security.

yes I agree with that who wants more and yet more passwords to rememeber. Apple wasn't teh first to use finger prints instead of passwords or codes.

The password was a means to an end, not the object of desire.

No one really wants passwords, they want security and passwords are usually the easiest way of achiving this for some things but not others. Most people in fact almost everyone uses some sort of key to enter their home or car.

This is English, so I know you won't understand it.
