Extra fuck you to places that truncate your password without telling you. I swear I remember Wells Fargo doing this, lets start there

That's exactly what I meant, actually! I forgot that "trimming" meant removing only whitespace from the ends (which is expected behavior in this use case IMO). I'll edit my title. Thank you for the low-key correction. maduro-salute

I love it when they have the foresight to sanity check the password and prompt you that it doesnt meet their requirements then not tell you what thuse requirements are.

Web developers? We need to target ilo developers for this! I don’t remember if hps thing does it but dells for sure does…

Can you elaborate? I have both a Dell and HPE Server with IDRAC and ILO respectively and I haven't noticed anything like that.

[-] stupid_asshole69@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I just checked and idrac 8 tells you it’s a 20 character limit and silently truncates when you go longer than that. I’m not at an hp thing to check about ilos behavior.

I think I have seen it complaining about too long passwords before but I did not know about it silently truncating. I just tested what ILO does on my HP and it happily accepts an arbitrarily long password but it only ever uses the first 40 characters. Good to know!

Another one I can make accusations about from memory but not substantiate is Cisco uhh xr? Gear.
