SSA Password Requirements are terrifying
- justherefortart 9y agoExactly 8 characters A-Z not case sensitive and numbers 0-9. Was verifying a contractor's SSN for my company. This is not remotely good IMO. Even better doesn't encrypt/hash the personal reset questions answers. What color was your first car? Lmfao.
- viraptor 9y ago> What color was your first car? Why, it was b5142147-5720-421e-885e-aa032de362aa, of course.
- justherefortart 9y agoYeah, I use nonsensical and offensive strings like: YourMothersD1rtyPu55yColored Lol, well not that exactly, but you get the idea O|-) </Cylon Angel>
- Zekio 9y agoNot case sensitive? so they lower case / upper case it all? or store as plain text?
- justherefortart 9y agoI have no idea what they're doing on the back end but this is bad. They do "randomize" your username. It looks like it's also limited to 8 characters and since they sent it in all upper case, my guess is that's what they're doing. On the bright side, my password does expire in July!
- Zekio 9y agohey if you forget your password at least you can brute force it in less than an hour :)
