WTF? AT&T’s profane-password ban lets some swears through
- Millennium 14y agoThe only passwords it makes any sense to ban are the fifty or so most common, plus simple number and case permutations of these, and MAYBE the most basic leet-speak versions as well. That's enough to make a prankster typing at a keyboard give up, and that's as much as you can hope to stop with this type of policy. No password ban will stop someone with a cracking app, and no serious intruder will be without one of those.
