   @lnxw48 @cmhobbs Required characters are an attempt at stronger passwords; illegal characters means they're saving them in plaintext. >_<

     "Include 1 of these special characters: @_-.#(other characters are not allowed)" #wtf is it with password policies? Is it really that difficult to accept any input and convert it to a fucking string?

     As a programmer, I am deeply disturbed and confused by this kind of nonsense.

     "Include 1 of these special characters: @_-.# (other characters are not allowed)" — What, a one-char PW from a set of five chars?

     @cmhobbs I just reset a password on Mozilla's Bugzilla. must be longer than 8 characters, must contain a Capital, must contain a number.... But the user doesn't know that until *after* they hit submit and get an error message that contains the "password rules". #brutal

     @jezra Ugh, password limits! The only thing worse would be if they emailed it to you afterwards, for "safe keeping"!

     @cmhobbs Me too. There are lots of sites I use that have questionable password policies. :(
