  Your password must be at least 10 characters long.

  ERROR: INVALID PASSWORD ENTERED!!!

  PASSWORD MUST NOT EXCEED 12 CHARACTERS!

  In systems that accept whitespace, “Live, Laugh, Love” is considered a strong password.

  With that being said, “In systems that accept whitespace, “Live, Laugh, Love” is considered a strong password.” is an even stronger password.

    I love systems that accept “With that being said, “In systems that accept whitespace, “Live, Laugh, Love” is considered a strong password.” is an even stronger password.” as my password.

      For those that have full Unicode support, including newline characters and a very high or nonexistent character limit, using:

  Fun fact: As an anti-scam measure, if you type your password in a comment, Lemmy will automatically censor it for you.

      This is just a css trick. Your full password text is still there in the html.

  Requiring specific characters reduces the number of permutations. The only thing that makes a password more secure is increasing the minimum length. As the OP suggests, enforcing special characters makes most people just put a special character at the end. What you have effectively done is make the last character so easy to guess that it might as well not exist.

  for real, why is it so hard to count entropy?

  My new job has us doing various security trainings every month and they also send out fake phishing emails. I initially ignored the emails prompting me to do the training because they require you to click a personalized link in the email to access the training. Eventually, my manager reached out and asked why I hadn’t done the training, so I explained, but finally clicked through to do it. That month’s training was about how a long passphrase is more secure than a list of character type requirements. Guess whose password requirements are a list of character type requirements?

  The FBI training I’m forced to take at work suggests replacing characters in that manner. “Just use a $ instead of S!”

  But back in like 2006 I brute forced a dump of 20 Windows passwords in that style on my old Dell single core machine in less than two seconds, and every time I’m shocked people still think this is secure.

  My last job was at AutoZone and our password requirements were stricter and had to be changed twice as often as my password on our secured computer when I was in the Navy.

  The new recommendation is 30 character or more passphrases with some noise.
