Password cannot contain letters, numbers, or special characters
The password cannot contain the Epstein's client list.
"Trump" is a very short and shitty password anyway...
The new password cannot contain anything else than .hUeuLY.ZgmLywD2Xm4SWoEupvTO2gW1+&'LeU'/xoP0GLk&'M:rKVOEH:wE3!
12 spaces
the glory of password managers should shine upon you
Me: Generates new password.
Website: PASSWORD TOO STRONK! TOO LONG! NO USE THESE CHARACTERS!
Me: You pussy. This site is gonna be so hacked.....
I think what happens is that your password is expired but rather than telling you it says it is incorrect. This way it doesn't leak what the current but expired password is.
Same reason why you shoukd not validate username independently from password.
Shitty way to force people to change their password. Only thing worse than this is using your email login and getting an error, requesting a new password and getting an error that the account does not exist, then trying to make a new account and being told that the account is already in use.
I think sometimes the validation servers are down and rather than pass an error it just passes a "no match."
Steam beams
Mildly infuriating typo, you probably meant ~~steal~~ steel beams.
Steam buns?
Hot steamy buns?
Steam beans.
Steamed hams
At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen?
Yes.
*steel
Steal beans.
String beans
as good a place as any to drop this off https://neal.fun/password-game/
I made it to the chess move section before I gave up
Off topic: Are his nostrils that vertically different? Did I never notice this during the airing of the show? It looks like his nose is having a stroke in the second image.
most faces are not symmetrical and would look weird if they were. I'd say some of the most beautiful people have asymmetrical faces and symmetry as a standard of beauty is a lie. we just don't study facial features separately and rather take in the face as a whole.
in other words, yes, his nostrils are at different height, but it's not that noticeable in motion.
This is definitely a new and novel concept to base a meme around
“your password cannot be longer than 8 characters”
sounds like you shouldve been using a password manager this whole time :)
Your new password must have a symbol, a number, uppercase letter, lowercase letter, the middle initial of your name, the third number of your birthdate, your blood type (no dashes), the last character of your license plate and the middle number of your social security.
Oh AND it must be 16 characters long because go fuck yourself.
As of 2023, a 16 character password with just lower case letters could be cracked in about 713 years and the average employee stays with a company for about 3.9 years. I really think we are making people work to hard to make good enough passwords and that is how we get people making shitty passwords. And then we ask them to repeat this process every three months, and because getting a password reset is a pain in the ass they right "FuckTh15Pl@ce" on a sticky note under there keyboard (I found that one under a VP's keyboard).
If we were doing passwords right it would be 12 characters, three character types, last until you leave the company or there is an incident. Also, by not requiring people to change the password every so often it one less thing for the IT Auditor to crab about.
NIST's official password guidelines state you should not have password expiry unless there is evidence of a compromise
And no one listens to that.
The majority of accounts I have don't have an expiry
I wouldn't trust personal data with anything that does - they certainly don't have any security professionals on staff
Every job I've had in the past 10 years makes us reset passwords periodically
10 years ago, that was believed to be best practice.
If they're still doing it in the last 2-3 years, they don't have anyone keeping up with modern security standards
At least it's not your data
My last employer did not, life was so much better after the policy change. Although my director lost track of how long he had worked there because he stopped incrementing his password every three months.
That's because they only read 800-63B and skip the other three documents.
For college we use outlook for email and every time on Firefox ( or a Firefox based browser ) I enter the password wrong once it essentially tells me to fuck off and reset the password ( in a much more corporate manner, of course ).
A single time. Doesn't matter whether or not I was close. Then I have to resort to closing the full god forsaken browser and open it again if I want a second attempt.
Outlook at it's best ( which is not saying much since the bar is in Hell ).
Got to get those 1.5v batteries in your keyboard lol. I spent $140 on a Logitech keyboard and it barely registers all keys even with 1.5v batteries. Honestly I don't see why a $140 keyboard wouldn't have USB C and a rechargable battery by now. Probably what I will get next but finding a decent wireless keyboard was hard. I messed up by getting this one. You can never assume price = quality these days.
Your password can not be the same as any of the last 3 passwords.
It isn't infuriating, it is common cybersecurity.
5 different websites telling me this doesn't seem like good cybersecurity either.
But that's not the message you get. I've seen that message (or last 5, or whatever), but this one sounds like it can't be the same as your immediate previous password.
