Nothing enrages me more than a password character limit. Thank you for making sure my password is LESS secure with your idiotic requirements based on security recommendations that are at least a decade old.

How about… an undisclosed character limit? We’ll just keep telling you your password is invalid until you figure out the max length.

banks using EXACTLY 8 character passwords 💀 (srsly)

Reminds me of “The Password Game” 😂

My bank requires your password to contain NO vowels. I always forget when I update the password (forced to every 3 months) and the error never mentions it.

I'm struggling to think why this would be a thing. The only guess I have is someone was told to enforce "no dictionary words in a password" and saw that as an 'easier' way to implement?

I just use the KeePassXC password generator. :)

Creating a password is as easy as clicking generate in my password manager - y'all should use one too
