In case you want to sign-up and cannot get the client side validation to accept your password: they apply email validation to the passwords. You'll have to make up a password that's also a valid email address. In other words, something like: aBqwdHkjh@oqwIrd.com
- metahost 7y agoWhy are they doing that?
- dvh 7y agoCopy paste programming
- cameronbrown 7y agoWow. Did they copy the same test for both fields twice too? Or more likely: do they have tests at all.
- cpfohl 7y agoLots of places don't have tests at all. This is not uncommon. (Or even all that problematic if other processes and capabilities are in place).
- cameronbrown 7y agoI mean, not being able to sign up is fairly problematic.
- pixelbath 7y agoTrue, but "server overwhelmed" is not usually one of the first tests written.
- cameronbrown 7y agoI'm referring to the inability to choose a password without some esoteric email-like rule-set.
