If your site only supports alpha numeric characters in my password. You should tell me that when I reset my password rather than just killing the special characters out of the string and submitting my password like that. I spent 15 minutes trying to log in before I gave up and reset it to something simple.

Also, you should let me use special characters in my password, it's 2017.

    @jlave215 I won't call them out, partially to protect which site has my insecure password and partially to protect them. But amateur hour for sure.

    @jpichardo after getting logged in, I changed my password to "password!" When I tried logging in again it refused to let me in. When I typed just "password" it worked and I was able to log in.

    Other limitations include no passwords over 12 characters long.

    @sylar182 damn, that sounds more like a bug than a feature

    Call them out man, this kind of thing is unforgivable.

    @cst1992 they have an email in their inbox, hopefully as @jpichardo said, it's just a bug and not a feature, and hopefully they fix it, but I doubt they respond.
