Funny thing at work, I was handling some legacy users - we need to make sure that on the next login, if they have a weak password, they have to change it.
So the whole day I’m typing “123” as a password, 123 123 123 123 all good. So finally I’m done and now I’m testing it, and accidentally I type 1234 instead of just 123. Doesn’t really matter, either is “weak”, so I just click “Login”.
Then goes Chrome, “1234 is known as a weak password, found in breaches, you should change it”.
So TIL 123 is still good.
No upper case or special chars? Kinky!
How am I supposed to remember those?
On word boundaries? But that would be way too predictable!
At once point I realised I need to input some Czech-specific characters on a French AZERTY keyboard.
Yeah, I gave up.
What if you made all of the uppercase?
