Comment on "Anon" has problems with cybersecurity [Mod approved non-greentext]

Websites need desperately to display their password creation rules on login pages. If I knew this particular site had (for some dumbass reason) a maximum password length less than the length of the password I’d otherwise use on that site or (also completely unreasonably) restricts special characters, I can more easily figure out what password I used when I signed up with fewer wrong guesses, all without sacrificing any security. (It’s not like the rules aren’t public info that anyone can get. Just don’t make me go halfway through the signup process to get that information if I’m just trying to log in.)
