I frequently encounter software that doesn't let me reuse my password. It is not an excuse. The company should be held accountable that it allowed clients to reuse their passwords; allowing it is negligence.
Intent is not a sufficient legal standard to address this epidemic of negligence. We need Strict Liability for data protection.
- sib 3y agoYou frequently encounter software that doesn't let you reuse a password that's been used anywhere else? Or just in the same system? I've not seen the former.
- grotorea 3y agoI remember software that will stop me from using stuff like "password", how hard is it to grab a copy of any of those password leaks and ban any password found in there?
- adameasterling 3y agoIt is not hard and every web service really should implement this sort of check. I’m actually pretty surprised to see so many comments here that aren’t aware of it! See: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords
