Don't forget to have hidden password requirements and secretly truncate any password longer than 12 characters.

Well yeah, if you don’t truncate the password to 12 chars how will you fit the plaintext in a memory efficient fixed latin1 CHAR column that only accepts letters, numbers, and underscores

Battle.net used to not be case-sensitive for passwords, back in like the pre-wow era.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
