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.
Fun fact, this is a feature of Lemmy:
- Lemmy has an undisclosed password limit of 60 characters.
- Lemmy's signup form will silently truncate passwords longer than 60 characters to 60 characters.
- Lemmy's login form will crash when passwords longer than 60 characters are submitted.
Someone please submit a PR
Just move to kbin.
Let the users enter as many characters as they want and silently crop the password to a few characters.
I've run into this where the sign-up form silently truncated the password but the login form didn't. Took me several password resets to guess the thing was being trimmed to 16 characters.
I would give up before I figured that out and find some other service to use.
banks using EXACTLY 8 character passwords 💀 (srsly)
