- Your password will expire in 3 days. Consider changing it.
+ yeah sure...
*tries to change password*
- Your password must be different from your old 25 passwords

+ What the fuck?!? I mean, really, what the fuck is this bullshit? You force me to use EXACTLY 8 char long passwords and this? Fuck you!

I've worked somewhere and they had a program that bugged somehow and if you had a password longer than 8chars it would constantly ask you for a new password and not save it after an update to the software. What's worse is that it only had one username password for a lot of people and after it also had the no last 10password policy. It took weeks to find why: in the db where the app store the data the password was only meant to be 8 chars max (company policy forces more than that though) so it overflow into the next field which was the date when it was set
. So the app would read the date and think that it was corrupt so asked for a password change until they fixed it.

@ilikeglue

That's rant-worthy.

And if you dive deep, is there a way of group policy inheritance?
Wait a second. Passwords in a DB..?!
I hope it's plain text.
Ah. It's a separate program, I see now. Well. Have to encapsulate some things somewhere.

USB rubber duck but all it does is type your password with a bunch of fake letters and backspacing in between
click password area, insert duck, wait, remove duck, hit enter or button
then just roll RNG passwords.

I think mine has a more than 8 character requirement. I typed in a normally accepted one. Len: 9, Num: 1 Special: 1
After it failing for the third time. I decided to mash some passwords together forming like a 26 char long ass string i have to enter.
Good thing i dont have hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia!

@scor well yeah it was a plain text db which was probably serialized badly... Well it's a company only kind of software so running on one pc in the server room. Users connected using I think either telnet or ssh I didn't use it but it looked something like that but it did the work better than any nowadays gui stuff.
