Case sensitivity is a bit of a pain - imagine the situation - I have lost my phone and I send my password "hello" from a friends phone, but I don't know how to use his phone properly and I don't realise that it automatically puts the first character as upper case. I end up sending "Hello" and the app does not report back. This could waste valuable time.

Another suggestion - what about if the app looks for the key phrase or word in a whole snetence. So if my password is "hildon" i send a message saying "Please phone aunty Hildon" and it activates reporting!
Yes, you are right, it is case sensitive and obviously "hello " is different, than "hello".

I might consider the key phrase solution - sounds interesting!

I think I need to make some pool on user requests shortly I get so many good ideas, don't know which one to implement. After a week of pool I could see the answers and implement stuff accordingly
