    I know this a a joke, but please use a password manager, it is such a game changer.

    Bitwarden is free and E2E encrypted and if you want additonal feature, they only cost 10 bucks pre year. You can even use it with anonaddy to hide your email, which is also totally free and open source.

      What are those premium features? I never felt like I was missing something from the free bitwarden

    Anytime you see a password length cap you know they are not following current security standards. If they aren’t following them for something so simple and visible, you’d better believe it’s a rat infested pile of hot garbage under the hood, as evidenced here.

      At my job they just forced me to use a minimum 15-character password. Apparently my password got compromised, or at least that was someone’s speculation because apparently not everyone is required to have a 15-char password.

      My job is retail, and I type my password about 50 times a day in the open, while customers and coworkers and security cameras are watching me.

      I honestly don’t know how I’m expected to keep my password secure in these circumstances. We should have physical keys or biometrics for this. Passwords are only useful when you enter them in private.

    I know it’s annoying that the password “doesn’t match”, but … a 128 character limit?! I’d like to see THAT fully utilized lol.

    (PS: the sentence above is exactly 128 characters, just for a comparison.)

    …and I bet once you want to change it you get the “your new password can not be the old password” error message just because.

      An acquaintance of mine has a 36 characters long passcode for his tablet that he manually puts in every time he wants to use it.

      And you can use password managers to make secure passwords without ever having to input them yourself.

        That is a very good idea if you want to disincentivise yourself from using your tablet

          He doesnt use it outside of school stuff and even then prefers to write things on paper, I dont think that he has to make disincentives.
