The side benefit of prepared statements, perhaps even more importantly if security is not really your concern, is that you don't need a password page that looks like this (this is really the password requirements page for my school):
A password must:
be 6-8 characters in length.
contain a non-alphanumeric character such as ( ! ] & * , + =
A password cannot:
...
include a dollar sign ( $ ), a single quote ( ‘ ), a double quote ( “ ), a number sign ( # ), a less-than sign ( < ), a question mark ( ? ), a pipe ( | ), a back quote ( ` ), or a backslash ( \ ).

- reemrevnivek 16y agoI hate those signups. The worst part about them is that they're usually on sites I'm required to sign up for, like a school, work, or corporate service. If it was a startup web app I was signing up for, I'd send the developer a polite email saying that I didn't feel comfortable putting my data in such a system. Unfortunately, all I can usually do is gripe a little in private.
- sbierwagen 16y agoFun fact: Etrade won't let you use a period ( . ) in a password. No error or anything, account creation just silently fails.
