Sadly at some places it's intentional so your password matches existing PIN systems or is "easy to remember" so you're not as easily locked out of your account.

Sadly at some places it's intentional so your password matches existing PIN systems or is "easy to remember" so you're not as easily locked out of your account. I wish in those cases there was a check box that says, "I know what I'm doing, leave me alone."
Speaking of annoying validations, my name has a hyphen in it but you'd be surprised how often that's rejected with the familiar, "Please enter a valid last name." Sigh.
- girvo 10y agoMy partner has a hyphenated first and last name. So many systems refuse to accept that, and even regular humans struggle with understanding it!
- moosterv 10y agoMy last name starts with oo, which many humans struggle to understand. It almost always becomes do, or co.
- kasparsklavins 10y agoHad this bug in a system I was working on. Pushed a patch in april.. and there still is an ongoing discussion whether it should be merged or not.
- int_19h 10y agoWhy is there a discussion? What do the people who don't want to take the patch say? "We don't care if we lose customers with unusual names"?
- kasparsklavins 10y agoBecause of code style (I do not mean spaces or tabs, it is beyond that). Different developers have different ideas of how a function should behave, where it literally has no effect on how the rest of the system works.
