Largest Study of its Kind Shows Outdated Password Practices are Widespread::undefined
Sometimes they change the requirements, so a password that once had symbols no longer works, and you can’t log in anymore.
Even better! They’ll sometimes tell you the wrong error message like my bank used to before they redesigned the front end and backend. I couldn’t change my password there for the longest time because it kept telling me my password was not between 5-8 characters long (yes it was). Turns out I couldn’t use a - in my password. I’m glad they finally updated to to a longer password but I still can’t use a - in my password.
