Nothing enrages me more than a password character limit. Thank you for making sure my password is LESS secure with your idiotic requirements based on security recommendations that are at least a decade old.

How about… an undisclosed character limit? We’ll just keep telling you your password is invalid until you figure out the max length.

My bank requires your password to contain NO vowels. I always forget when I update the password (forced to every 3 months) and the error never mentions it.

I'm struggling to think why this would be a thing. The only guess I have is someone was told to enforce "no dictionary words in a password" and saw that as an 'easier' way to implement?

I just use the KeePassXC password generator. :)

Creating a password is as easy as clicking generate in my password manager - y'all should use one too
