    Got to get those 1.5v batteries in your keyboard lol. I spent $140 on a Logitech keyboard and it barely registers all keys even with 1.5v batteries. Honestly I don’t see why a $140 keyboard wouldn’t have USB C and a rechargable battery by now. Probably what I will get next but finding a decent wireless keyboard was hard. I messed up by getting this one. You can never assume price = quality these days.

    I think what happens is that your password is expired but rather than telling you it says it is incorrect. This way it doesn’t leak what the current but expired password is.

    Off topic: Are his nostrils that vertically different? Did I never notice this during the airing of the show? It looks like his nose is having a stroke in the second image.

    Shitty way to force people to change their password. Only thing worse than this is using your email login and getting an error, requesting a new password and getting an error that the account does not exist, then trying to make a new account and being told that the account is already in use.

    Your new password must have a symbol, a number, uppercase letter, lowercase letter, the middle initial of your name, the third number of your birthdate, your blood type (no dashes), the last character of your license plate and the middle number of your social security.

    Oh AND it must be 16 characters long because go fuck yourself.

      As of 2023, a 16 character password with just lower case letters could be cracked in about 713 years and the average employee stays with a company for about 3.9 years. I really think we are making people work to hard to make good enough passwords and that is how we get people making shitty passwords. And then we ask them to repeat this process every three months, and because getting a password reset is a pain in the ass they right “FuckTh15Pl@ce” on a sticky note under there keyboard (I found that one under a VP’s keyboard).

      If we were doing passwords right it would be 12 characters, three character types, last until you leave the company or there is an incident. Also, by not requiring people to change the password every so often it one less thing for the IT Auditor to crab about.

        NIST’s official password guidelines state you should not have password expiry unless there is evidence of a compromise

            The majority of accounts I have don’t have an expiry

            I wouldn’t trust personal data with anything that does - they certainly don’t have any security professionals on staff

    I think sometimes the validation servers are down and rather than pass an error it just passes a “no match.”

    Your password can not be the same as any of the last 3 passwords.

    It isn’t infuriating, it is common cybersecurity.

      But that’s not the message you get. I’ve seen that message (or last 5, or whatever), but this one sounds like it can’t be the same as your immediate previous password.

        Yeahtthis is a classic case of good security policy and back end code, but poor front end design.

        If the user is confused or angry but the engineers know what’s going on just fine, it’s bad design.

    For college we use outlook for email and every time on Firefox ( or a Firefox based browser ) I enter the password wrong once it essentially tells me to fuck off and reset the password ( in a much more corporate manner, of course ).

    A single time. Doesn’t matter whether or not I was close. Then I have to resort to closing the full god forsaken browser and open it again if I want a second attempt.

    Outlook at it’s best ( which is not saying much since the bar is in Hell ).
