Try this simple and fun game to practice your password creation skills :^) https://neal.fun/password-game/

Convince me this isn’t just training someone’s pet algorithm the same way we’ve all been trained to accept training the CAPTCHAs.

WAKE UP COMPILERS (It is a fun game though)

Nothing enrages me more than a password character limit. Thank you for making sure my password is LESS secure with your idiotic requirements based on security recommendations that are at least a decade old.

Creating a password is as easy as clicking generate in my password manager - y'all should use one too

This is the only way. Except some services don’t even accept those randomly generated ones. Only a slight inconvenience to add whatever special character they want or to trim the length.

Inconvenience? More like incompetence… they should let me use æøéüôñ🍕&/ in my passphrase

I just use the KeePassXC password generator. :)

My bank requires your password to contain NO vowels. I always forget when I update the password (forced to every 3 months) and the error never mentions it.

Reminds me of “The Password Game” 😂
