    I just recently had to make a password for some website.

    The requirements were to use at least one capital letter, at least one number, and EXACTLY ONE of a short list of special characters in your password. It also could be no longer than 10 characters.

    Major wtf moment.

        There are various reasons I hate the banks I use. One of the top reason is this ancient obsolete password rule.

        The biggest reason to hate my banks is they’re forcing to use their android app and policing how I can use my phone by refusing to run if I have accessibility service on, and developers options enabled.

        I just keep updating my reviews as they are anti disabled people[1].

        [1]Please correct me on the proper term because I’m ESL and I forgot.

      That’s means they’re storing your password directly in a database somewhere. Not even hashing it. Super lazy coding.

      When the plaintext-stored password inevitably get leaked at some point, I hope whoever actually reads through that list gets a laugh out of it.
