New password cannot be the same as new password

the glory of password managers should shine upon you

Password must contain at least one upper case number.

I think what happens is that your password is expired but rather than telling you it says it is incorrect. This way it doesn't leak what the current but expired password is.

I think sometimes the validation servers are down and rather than pass an error it just passes a "no match."

Shitty way to force people to change their password. Only thing worse than this is using your email login and getting an error, requesting a new password and getting an error that the account does not exist, then trying to make a new account and being told that the account is already in use.

Mildly infuriating typo, you probably meant steal steel beams.

“your password cannot be longer than 8 characters”

Off topic: Are his nostrils that vertically different? Did I never notice this during the airing of the show? It looks like his nose is having a stroke in the second image.

This is definitely a new and novel concept to base a meme around

sounds like you shouldve been using a password manager this whole time :)

Got to get those 1.5v batteries in your keyboard lol. I spent $140 on a Logitech keyboard and it barely registers all keys even with 1.5v batteries. Honestly I don't see why a $140 keyboard wouldn't have USB C and a rechargable battery by now. Probably what I will get next but finding a decent wireless keyboard was hard. I messed up by getting this one. You can never assume price = quality these days.

For college we use outlook for email and every time on Firefox ( or a Firefox based browser ) I enter the password wrong once it essentially tells me to fuck off and reset the password ( in a much more corporate manner, of course ).

A single time. Doesn't matter whether or not I was close. Then I have to resort to closing the full god forsaken browser and open it again if I want a second attempt.

Outlook at it's best ( which is not saying much since the bar is in Hell ).

Steam beans?

Your password can not be the same as any of the last 3 passwords.

It isn't infuriating, it is common cybersecurity.

One way this happened to me was because the ” choose password” page silently truncated too long passwords. The login page didn’t truncate.

That means they've updated their password requirements and your new one is now rejected, or they reject passwords of a certain age or with a lack of account activity.

And why keep hashes (I fucking hope so) of old passwords?

Your hatred is steaming beans?

My hatred usually corns beef.

I'm more pissed that they are keeping all my old passwords... So when they get leaked, they all get leaked. Meanwhile, all our phones have cameras but we can't have them take a pic on the wrong pin entered because why? No logic in Emailing the picture to you. That's just silly.

I've always thought that the best password security possible would be to always have the real password fail a few times. People who know their password will keep trying it, someone else will try a different one. It's a variation of not giving an error that tells what failed.

They keep multiple old passwords. You've done this whole stick before and you tried to use that same password last time. You use it for everything, and every time your new account gets "hacked." You keep using that password even when we show you that it's been in multiple leeks and is associated with your email.
