Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long
TIN@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
My mum told be the other day she logged onto a new bank, gave it a 12 character password then couldn’t get back in after. When she got through to their customer services they said that it was an 8 character password limit (!), but it just never said on the register screen.
Microsoft does this to our users at my job. They go to charge their password and it won’t accept it but won’t tell them what the requirements are. “Your password doesn’t meet our criteria.” Okay, so what are you looking for???
Worst is that there seems to be a soft block at some point and instead of telling them that, it shows this dumb error instead over and over again no matter what password they choose.
Maybe that’s security by obscurity. Or security by confusion. /s
so secure, no one can get in, even her!
Ah must be my bank. Same.

Yeah, I’d be doing that bank if there’s any choice.

Either this is some new slang I’m not rizz enough to understand or one of us had a stroke.
