Enter password to sign up

>Enter password to sign up
>Password must be between 6 and 30 characters long, must contain letters in mixed case and must contain numbers.

Password stipulations are so fucking retarded.
Does no one realize that they actually make passwords less secure?

>has a laundry list of password stipulations
>doesn't support two-factor authentication
This shit's the worst one of all.

>Enter character name

>force your user to create elaborate passwords
>database gets hacked after
E V E R Y T I M E

>You have already used this password before, please enter a different password.

>spend 3 days making paragon of human beauty in character creator
>looks like a gremlin in game thanks to shitty lighting

It's the same reason we have the TSA molesting people at every airport.

It's 1% for actually improving security, 99% theater to make people feel more secure so they'll not think too hard when handing you all their tasty, valuable personal data.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.

>your password can not contain the word "password"
Fuck you, if I want my password to be password then just fucking let me.

>15 password stipulations
>you enter an abomination of text to meet their demands
>"Error! One or more password requirements have not been met."
>the password looks like it satisfies everything and the error message doesn't tell you which stipulation it's apparently missing
>go through the password changing it character by character and resubmitting it each time just praying it takes the fucking thing

>Your new Password is too similar to your previous Password. Please enter a different Password

>enter password
>shit don't work
>try to change password and enter one I usually use
>that comes up
am I retarded or is it the computers?

>mandatory 5 questions for password reset
>forget all answers

Cheetahs are so nice to look at

Passwords have started requiring me to include special characters in them now. I don't want to have to remember a bunch of capital letters, numbers, and now question marks too.

We have this system at work and it's fucking retarded.

You have to one of every character variation and it can't be the same as previous passwords within the last three years, but they expire every 60 days.

The security doesn't even make sense for anyone besides manager level because other accounts don't have the ability to affect orders or other things.

>forgot the password to my PSN account on my PS4
>forgot the password somehow to my email account linked to it so I can't just change it
I'm so fucking pissed.

All I want to do is re-download DMC4:SE and maybe purchase UMvC3 but I fucking can't.

>not just putting ADJECTIVE ANIMAL
It's the best thing to do, unless you're playing a fantasy game; if that's the case good luck.

>Security Question 1: "What is your favorite food?"

I don't fucking remember what I said my fucking favorite dish was fucking 5 years ago you retarded fucking website.

For some dumbass reason I need to change my password in order to use my PSN on my PS4, but it works just fine on PS3 and Vita. But that requires a birth date that I completely fucking forgot.

>ADJECTIVE ANIMAL
I just realized I've been doing that for over a decade for all of my account names

...

this is why the mother maiden name question will always be the best security question

>not just giving every security question the same answer, regardless of the question

You're dumb as fuck, my man.

>"Please enter a name for the use of our online services"
>all my usual usernames are unavailable somehow
>come up with a new name that is kinda original and not too silly
>"This name is already taken"

It's true. If a password can't be under 8 characters then a brute force program gets a huge head start since it doesn't have to bother with 'a' through '0000000'.

...

>Answer: cx65WEk()09faGwuz07
Password managers are fun.

Your mom was fun in bed last night

This is so fucking retarded. Nobody, just NOBODY uses brute forcing for cracking passwords, so it's completely pointless to molest your users to make a super special password just for your service. Fuck.

The only thing fun around here was your mom's vagina when I had sex with her

>fucking fatties
Sad tbdesu.

isn't this how xbox live gamertags are autogenerated

>all my usual names are taken
>everything I enter is taken
>get so mad, enter “everyfuckingnamealreadytaken“ in my language
>it works
>decide to just be done with this shit and accept

this has been my google account for 8 years. Needless to say, I don't use gmail

I use lastpass and it's great. Now I only have to remember 1 complicated password and nothing else.

If I ever forget it, I'm fucked.

Thats your fucking fault

anyone ever just skip to the bottom of these if they dont recognize the pasta but want to see if they're getting memed or not?

>not using a password manager

Just let me pick 6 random words that form a sentence or story I cam easily remember.

in my country, we have our mother's surname as our own second surname, so you can end with a password so strong you'll need 27 millions years to brute force it, but can access through that question or "what's your favourite soccer team?" EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYBODY'S FAVOURITE TEAM

>Log onto online game I haven't played in years
>Forget password so click forget password
>Need to answer security question to get a new password
>Can't remember if the answer is cass sensitive
>Try with and without
>Doesn't work even though it's the correct answer to the question
>Don't even remember setting security Q&A to begin with
>Never able to play old account again

>have a piece of paper with all my passwords in it in case I forget
>don't label my passwords to their respective accounts in case someone finds it
>can't remember which password is for what anymore

Fuck mandatory account registrations

>WE
>wuz
get out of here nigger

fucking lold

>Yourusualpassword1nameofsite/game/companyinitsacronym
Wowzers. That was hard.

I really miss these.
I don't care if it's "us oldfags, huh," they're just fun reads, sometimes.

My fucking work email does this shit. My current password has 13 letters with one capitalized and two numbers. Who is god's name wants to read what bullshit my manager is sending out? Hell I don't even care but I have to check the shit.

>use security tool for banking and offical stuff
>pw can't be longer than like 10 characters and can't include special signs
What the fuck
At least it comes with two step auth in the form of a ,physical token

That's what I do
I have an usual template and then slap a 3 letter acronym of the service in front of it
Something who has already acquired 2+ of my passwords and physically tries to get the rest will probably figure it out, but I'd recon that a bot will have a harder time

>Always picks random security question
>Always use same security question answer no matter what
Problem solved

I just do subject of sentence + dicks

So if it's What is your favorite food?

the answer is fooddicks

>registration error, your password is too weak

>your password must not be longer than 20 characters

>site has a bar to indicate your password strength
>can never get it to the max level no matter what combination you use

This is a funny contrast.

>Online fucking bank where all of your fucking money is
>lol your password can only be 10 characters long

>Some random ass dead BBS forum I'll use once because I need to register to download a file
>Your password must be at least 57 characters long, contain at least 27 upper case characters, but with no more than 3 in succession at any point of the password, contain at least 5 numbers, and contain at least 3 unique special characters
>We're also going to need you to input your firstname and lastname and phone number
Fuck off.

I have a system worked out for everything

All of my social media accounts have one password (Facebook, insta, twitter)
All of my other online accounts have another password (Twitch, forums, MMO's, etc)
All accounts where I've ever paid any money have a third password, which is just the second one but with a phrase on the end of it (amazon, ebay, steam)

With the whole playstation fiasco, I just used my router's default password for that, since you can't have letters and / or numbers side by side.

Then when it asked me to do it AGAIN (thanks consoles), I used my work password, which is similar.

If it asks me to do it again I'm throwing my PS4 out.

thanks for the info :^)

>go into password manager
>click generate password

Hey did you know if you try to say your password Jagex automatically censors it? ********

The short while I played RS, I used to pretend to fall for these just to see them/their friend log out in a hurry. Fucking retards.

>log into your old account years later
>look at your username
>what the fuck was I thinking

>Online bank
>Have to enter another code on top of your password
>The code is random and you can find it from these plastic lists
>The code you're looking for is always on the other side
This is so fucking tedious

>Log into old account
>Look at e-mail adress I was using
>Cringe

What? You not using a TAN system?

>Japanese online bank
>makes you remember 3 things to log in: a password, a security question, and an icon chosen from a large list of icons
>if you forget any one of these, the procedure for resetting your password/icon/question is for them to physically mail you a card with a one-time use password reset token printed on it, which takes about a week to arrive
>once it arrives, the stuff you reset to must all be different from your last settings (no choosing the same security question or icon)

It's TAN system, but it's still tedious as fuck

I'm glad that even when I was twelve and gullible, I was at least cautious enough to wait until I was completely alone to test it.

I always just put cheesey insults. Like 'dumb idiot' 'dummyhead' and shit like that.

There is nothing "fun" about password managers.

This is a Modern TAN System you stone age barbarian.

I have a little token thing where a number appears on a button press, it's rather convenient

>Password must contain special characters
>Type in my usual password for these shitty security stipulations
>Doesn't work
>Spend 15 minutes trying to find one it will take
>Turns out periods aren't allowed

I just want to fucking play Pokemon TCG Online, who the fuck is going to bruteforce a password that hard?

It's easy
my password for most stuff is tiNniTitUs%63

>Register for website
>Have to confirm registration
>Check email
>No confirmation
>Never ends up showing up
>Username you like is forever locked to email that can't confirm

>birth date that I completely fucking forgot
