If you want to have a good system of passwords, you have to let users put what they want? Not a big security risk for these? I understand that too many rules are stupid, but even if it is a minimum of characters and then freedom to choose the character composition that one wants is the best instead of forcing a rare combination.
The only thing I hate from passwords is lenght. Most of the websites don't allow me to do +40 char passwords. I generate everything with 1Password and I have to limit on most websites to under 20 characters.
- jspash 7y agoI really hate it when a site will allow you create a password with more than 20 characters, but then silently truncates it on the server. I wish I could remember an example, but it slips my mind. So if you ever find yourself having trouble logging in with your 1pwd auto-generated password, try again with the first 20 characters. You just might get in!
- meerita 7y agoI never faced that, but that truncate would be silly: you kill all passwords and customers have to recover it and keeping creating new ones.
