A friend was trying to get on a website to buy a product, but she was having difficulties setting her password. The interchange went as follows:

"Please create your password below."
roses

"Sorry, too few characters."
pretty roses

"Sorry, you must use at least one numerical character."
1 pretty rose

"Sorry, you cannot use blank spaces."
1prettyrose

"Sorry, you must use at least 10 different characters."
1friggingprettyrose

"Sorry, you must use at least one upper case character."
1FRIGGINGprettyrose

"Sorry, you cannot use more than one upper case character consecutively."
1FriggingPrettyRose

"Sorry, you must use no fewer than 20 total characters."

"Sorry, you cannot use punctuation."
1FriggingPrettyRoseShovedUpYourAssIfYouDontGiveMeAccessRightNow

"Sorry, that password is already in use".

Yep, have had the same thing happen to me. Having a password so complicated to remember that you have to write it down and then remember where you put it kind of defeats the purpose of a personal password that only your brain would know.

Uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character are the worst password requirements.

I hate passwords. I don't want a password on anything but my banking account.

All this other shite just pisses me off.

I used to have one password that I used for everything but it was only six letters and no numbers or special characters.

Now, they require me to have at least 8 characters - some needing upper case, some needing special characters. Some both.

My fingers have become numb with age so my typing creates a lot of typos. When I have to input a password, I make mistakes and soon I have used up my 3 attempts so I have to create a new one.

That is when I have to start adding an additional number to the end, so now I have different passwords for different things which causes me to make more mistakes.

They won't allow re-use of an old password so now I have cycled thru all the easy to remember words.

I-phone is the worst - I want to throw that thing against the wall.

I hate passwords - don't have any use for them, don't want them.

I've done IT Security audits in the past, and always thought password strength was like picking the fly shite out of the pepper. If you get the password hash, you can crack any password in around 4 hours. However, I've found blank admin passwords, and on one domain controller, I found ~9% of all passwords were variations of "rolltide" Not good. (insert gump joke here.)

Speaking of security, I just got a call from a "microsoft" habib telling me I needed to enable remote desktop so he could fix a problem. When I mentioned I had a MSCE, he hung up. What do you suppose he wanted?
