Proving yet again, no matter how clear the messaging users won’t read it.

Its not about the length of your password, you’re just not meeting the password requirements. You’re missing a special character

I think they understand that. They are just calling out how outdated those password requirements are. In reality, a 32-character password made up of just alphanumeric characters is more secure than an 8-character password that also includes special characters. OP knows this fact, but they see that the website does not, so they are bringing that up here.

Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.
The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).
“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:
it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition
it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters
In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.
Yay for English.
