ch715t01917yForce them to use over 40% special characters, ban dictionary words and do forced resets every 7 days for security reasons.

Braed2967y@Nanos oh my god, I was signing up for something online yesterday and I had to enter a password and a confirm password. My password of choice was 16 characters long but I kept getting a "passwords do not match" error. After five minutes, several refreshes and lots of shouting, I realised that the confirm password field had a 15 character limit but the password field didn't. One character was being omitted each time lol

Braed2967y@Nanos I really hate sites that enforce a special character. None of my passwords have a special character as its not a common request, so I just add and exclamation mark to my password lol

my passwords are 64 characters long, they are useless in most cases because websites have 8, 16 or 20 character limit so I use different parts of one password for multiple sites
