Re:Don’t Get Clever with Login Forms by guitarbill on Friday February 15, 2019 @12:49PM (#19172989)
It's a good point, things like forcing rotation are the worst. It doesn't prevent re-using other passwords, is hugely frustrating.

This is also true for complex password patterns. It's so dumb. Don't make me use special characters, period. Otherwise it's going to be a dollar sign at the end, which is a common pattern, so now the theoretical complexity gains are vastly reduced.

It's also frustrating when I've entered more than the required amount of characters (sometimes a lot more) and your stupid form validation still insists I need more character classes. Why exactly? Stop making password rules suck, if they do, I'll assume your infosec department is completely useless.
