Small rant incomming. I just went to look at applying to Walmart, and when going to make an account their password requirements were 8-11 characters. What kinda nonsense is that? Some terribly made backend I'd assume. It's bad enough I gotta make a million accounts when applying to jobs but then you got my PII sitting behind such terrible password requirements it makes me wonder where else they are cutting corners on security.

... 8-11 characters.

shouldn't be a problem. take the dwarves and Snow White as a minimum. throw in the evil stepmom, woodsman, and magic mirror if you need them.
