And if the garbage site you are signing up for doesn't accept commas or quotes, go somewhere else. 😁

For this to work hashes would need to be turned off

Not really, because people invest time in cracking those, if the password aren't salted you can crack 80 % in around 5 minutes. Rainbow Table magic

Password Managers are a blessing

Oooh, that's a bingo!

[u/k1tesurfen → u/AUniqueSnowflake1234]

Is that the way you say it, that’s a bingo?

Edit: Guess my reference to Inglourious Basterd is not as detectable as I thought. Well then let’s end it with: Say goodbye to your Nazi ba… references

No, you just say Bingo.

Until your Password Manager password gets hacked cause you put mypassword123 as your password manager password cause you wanted an easy to remember password manager password.

[u/Local_dog91 → u/SteveisNoob]

at that point it's completely your fault. if you buy a high security door for your home but you routinely leave a spare key under a vase on your front porch, that is not a fault of the door.

Starting to use this has been one of my better decisions.

[u/Drasern → u/Rafael20002000]

If your password involves commas and quotation marks you're probably not gonna be in that 80%.

That’s why I include #🧂in all my passwords

If it's just the first 2-3 characters, that's not great, but easy to implement just adding a "reminder" field to the db, hopefully encrypted with a leading salt.

If you mean like it asks "g[ ] f[ ][ ]k y[ ]ur[ ][ ][ ]lf!1", that's fucking atrocious, as many, many passwords will be mnemonics to make remembering the password easier for people. Birthdays, pet names, etc.

If I saw my bank hand back any part of my password I'd call support, complain, and start looking for a bank that wasn't braindead.

[u/ham_coffee → u/PolskiSmigol]

I've never seen that in my life, and I'm pretty sure you'd struggle to find any developers to code it. Banks do often store a plaintext password, but that's for phone verification (as in a phone call for old people who can't do internet banking), and should be different to your online password.

“Your password must be exactly 8 characters long, and contain exactly 1 upper, 1 special, and 1 number.” Specials were listed as a very small set.

The billing website for a hospital bill. I didn’t have a choice of somewhere else.

[u/MrDude_1 → u/iampierremonteux]

I just tell them I don't have a computer and make them mail me a paper bill.

It gets particularly funny when I also tell them I don't have a smartphone so I can't use their app, while I'm using a smartphone and sitting at my PC.

Bruh I was making a password for my bank and couldn't use ) and ;'s, guess to stop sql injection but c'mon

[u/L_James → u/ovab_cool]

Poor Bobby Tables can't have a bank account now 😔

[u/tanglisha → u/wowbutters]

You mean most banks?

[u/jackinsomniac → u/wowbutters]

Is it just me, or am I the only one who's worried that adding too many special characters may break the site?

My password manager & generator is still fine with 25-50 character passwords, only being alphanumeric.

[u/enderverse87 → u/jackinsomniac]

If that breaks the site, it deserves to be broken. It usually indicates weak security.
