I'm not sure about other Kindles, but this statement is not entirely true for the Kindle Touch.

I have changed the password on my Touch to a length of greater than eight characters and logging in using ssh and scp require all characters to be entered.

I cannot verify serial port logins since I have not opened my Touch and do not have a serial cable.
