Good idea. Hope the companies listed take notes.

One of the dumbest I've seen is when the username has password-like requirements, like insisting capital letters and numbers.

I've previously had somebody from Microsoft reach out to me directly about their entries and had somebody from RedHat create an issue, but I don't think either actually took action.

I'll continue to try though and am evaluate ways that the site can actually help companies update their rules.
