Aha! I missed that. How long did it take you to work out the bug here? How did you stumble on to this originally? Was it an organic error, or do you do this kind of thing for a living?

I was typing in a password (which I have since changed, lol) that contained one of these letters and it kept rejecting it. Assuming I was typing it wrong (I’m prone to that), I very deliberately typed in every letter one at a time and noticed that no dot appeared when I got to that character. I was gonna tweet about that one letter but then I started wondering how many other letters would do the same. So I tried them all.
My day job used to be internal technical support at a software company, and now it’s engineering.
Before that I was at 9to5Mac reviewing apps, and even before that I was a pretty prolific beta tester for stuff like iOS jailbreak tweaks, so I’ve got a LOT of troubleshooting and debugging experience that comes in handy here haha. I live to break things.
