I am logging to my 23andme account to confirm my info and name registered there.
I forgot my password and did a password reset. They have password requirement of 12 characters minimum. A bunch of security theater just to get hacked anyways
- brokencode 3y agoSo as soon as a company gets hacked once, all of their security measures get recategorized as security theater?
- sobkas 3y ago> So as soon as a company gets hacked once, all of their security measures get recategorized as security theater? Failing to secure user data and then overcompensate on user side is a security theatre. It's like having complicated lock on a cardboard box.
- brokencode 3y agoYou are failing to understand my point. Companies get hacked all the time, no matter how competent their security practices. One hack does not imply cardboard box. A history of hacks or bad security practices does, and it’s not clear yet that applies to 23andMe.
- TeaBrain 3y agoThe requirement wasn't previously that long. Also, following the hack, they're requiring everyone to reset their passwords.
