Password length requirement
(feddit.org)
Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?
Whoops. Forgot a restriction, can't use repeating characters either so that one doesn't work either.
"p4s5w0rd"
Yeah but then you gotta change it every 30 days and it can't use any of your last 24 passwords so you can't even cycle through 10 numbers in one spot or even two spots. So you'd have to do like "p0s0w0rd" and then do "p1s0w0rd" and so forth.
p4s5w1rd
p4s5w2rd
p4s5w3rd
When you get to p4s5w9rd, increment to p4s6w0rd, and so on.
