Not sure why you think it's clickbait? They have messed up password form validation. Sure it's not the worst, not even the worst I've come across. But it's still bad.
And I wish I was super young, but I just live in a place where institutions like that all use a common system tied to your bank which is actually pretty solid. So the times I have to deal with crummy online services it's stuff like this.
- epcoa 3y agoSorry don’t see how they messed up anything. They state the requirements and they give the set of characters meeting one of those requirements. The wording could be improved but that doesn’t rise to the level of “messed up” any more than 99% of the Internet is messed up. It’s not like the behavior is completely incongruent with any reasonable interpretation of the instructions. That would be messed up. “ So initially it failed on no special characters in my input. Oh well, easy fix, open up the settings, add the special characters group, and regenerate. Hmm, still no special characters?” Not sure why you assume there is a standard definition of “special character”. There isn’t. I’m surprised it took you this long to stumble upon this if you use a password manager, but there you have it. There’s also a lot of words of build up when the first picture with the angle bracket makes it abundantly clear what must be going on.
