"Your password is not strong enough"
It's ok, password, don't listen to them. You're perfect the way you are.

@mayaisloading remember Password, when someone is pissing you off, just count to 10.

Ok well 5 is good enough I guess

@mayaisloading My platform application complains every time I log in. "Your password does not meet minimum complexity requirements!" Coworkers rib me for it occasionally. Then I remind them it's nearly 40 characters long and while not containing symbols, it does contain 130 or so bits of entropy. Their password meeting the minimum requirements contains 30-40.

Then I have to explain what entropy is… and how permitting "Passw0rd!" wholly invalidates the minimum requirements.

@Holir_ @mayaisloading Nope, but it'll work if you're emphatic enough about it. 😏

@alice @mayaisloading It's way easier for me to type '!!DrugsRemake70Wards' than 'lkr2xhnX', despite the first one being longer. Somehow this still surprises people. And then sometimes I run afoul of maximum character limits.

@mayaisloading HulkSmash123 is, in fact, quite strong, thankyouverymuch.

@mayaisloading Password: join the Dark Side, and only then you will know the true strength.

@mayaisloading "You don't need special characters to know that you are special, & if you need space then that's OK too."

@mayaisloading @burnie

Well, my password has been called not “unique enough” and then they pointed to other websites were they had seen it. Is it my fault I encourage my password to have a social life? 🙃😂

Yikes, that is dark. 😱
Although I don't recall doing it, which is not much of a guarantee, I know. I never realized how easy it was to do so. I thought I was stating an observation and never realized many people would consider it a judgment.

Thanks for making me aware.

@mayaisloading And you should not use beefstew as a password -- It's just not stroganoff!

@mayaisloading it feels like every website needs the world's strongest password (24 chars, upper, lowercase, special chars, numbers, a poem about butt hairs) but my stupid online banking password can not have more than 5 characters wtf

@mayaisloading
password, are you the Men In Black, because I’ve forgotten you already

@mayaisloading It's like that sinking feeling I get when asked to prove I am not a robot by pointing out all the grainy pictures containing curbs in them and I realize I may, indeed, not be able to prove I am not a robot.

***sigh***

@mayaisloading I'm a strong independent password who don't need no user

@mayaisloading
Sounds like they are looking for a really strong password to fight with and die as a true warrior.

@mayaisloading they have messed up standards anyways, even "strong" is not a strong enough password according to them

@mayaisloading but funny enough, when you hit them with random 100 chars with full ASCII and Latin-1 supplement, they usually can’t take it…
