Error: password not strong enough use atleast 1 uppercase letter

at first I was like what kind of fucking regular expression is that?? then I realised it was your actual password, my sympathies.

@Sykoah you copied my post :D
u forgot to copy "copyright"

A fairly secure password:
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

A less secure password:
"$F00bar!"

...

Password restrictions:
All sorts of prohibited characters that should just be encoded before they are hashed and even non-problematic ones like space. No repetition of characters, arbitrarily must include lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols, length between 8 and 16.

Fucking dipshits. Require the web developer to encode the characters both on the username and the password both server and client side. Use stored procedures on the database that do a 3rd check for proper encoding to prevent any sort of SQL injection. Use a hash algorithm that supports input of a size upto 256 characters instead of 32. Then the connection to the database, should only have connect on the database and only execute access on the login procedure.

Is all that, that fucking difficult?
