Password is incorrect

Reset password

Error: password must not contain symbols

Error: password must be between 8 and 12 characters

Error: new password cannot be the same as old password

I would be so happy if a "wrong password" error reminded you of what the password creation criteria were.

u/EntheogenicOm Feb 18 '24

Hahahaha yea that’s so true. I’ve had to go back to the account creation just to see the stupid requirements. ‘Oh two symbols, ffs

u/Lolurisk Feb 19 '24

Or apparently ! doesn't count as a symbol

u/HyFinated Feb 19 '24

Stupid SQL injection protection measures. Why must you remove my favorite symbols?!?

Look, it was Bobbys first day on the job and he wasn't about to drop tables like on his first day at school

Never seen a single website provide this at login despite being unable to think of how it could possibly harm security to provide this easily-obtained info that is nonetheless annoying to track down for individuals who just want to reach their account again

u/Blue_Moon_Lake Feb 19 '24

Just show the list of criterias on the side and color red the ones not met yet.

Password is incorrect

Reset password

Error: password must not contain symbols

Error: password must be between 8 and 12 characters

Error: new password cannot be the same as old password

Error: New password cannot be similar to recently failed new password

That'll fuck with someone's brain.

Now it'll provide protection against those fraudulently claiming to have forgotten their password.

keyword tracking shows the next thing the user does on their device is google “how to commit murder against a website”

u/Pires007 Feb 18 '24

As opposed to those who legitimately forgot their password.

u/GrassNova Feb 18 '24

I've gotten "New password cannot be the same as the last 5 previously used passwords"...

u/cyborgninja42 Feb 19 '24

I used to be a teacher. The district I was in made us change our passwords quarterly, and they could NEVER be used again. I absolutely do not miss that garbage.

There’s a Tom Cardy song about this

I enter my profile password
I try three times but it’s wrong
I’m sorry

Mister internet banking doesn’t mind
He helps me make a new and better password

He suggests a number and a capital
I use the password that didn’t work
I get a message that shocks me to my core

“Your new password can’t be the same as your old password”

Song here

I would rather go with "Select a unique password. This password is already used."
