What? No punctuation marks? Special characters like !@#$%^&*()_+?

I got a "we've had customers accounts breached, please update your password" email the other day.

They specifically called out you can't use # in your password, and it's been bugging me why that is. What part if their system let's in other special characters but # is off limits?

Now that I’m thinking about this it’s bugging me too. If they are passing it to shell scripts maybe it’s interpreted as a comment? Some databases like Oracle use # to separate schema prefix from schema user and table name in a query? But none of those would really make sense here 🤷
