Instant Cloud – SSD Bare Metal Servers

My password had an "0" in it - I had to guess whether it was a number or a letter.

My password is illegible. It has a 0, I think, and the letter after it could be an I, L, or maybe a 1, but nothing I've tried so far works.

Definitely not ideal if I've wasted 5 minutes of my server's runtime just guessing the password.

Edit: Got it finally, 7 minutes in - a line right under the mystery letter made it look like an 'L' when it was actually an 'I'.

definitely, I am brute forcing since it has two sticks and I don't know if they are l/I/1 or l

Note to developers, exclude similar letters from your alphabet when generating passwords or spell them out phonetically.

The same happened to me. Bad font choice, I guess. Tried several times until realized that was the problem.

You should get a better font.

The password is in a captcha. Better font wouldn't have helped.

Fair enough. They should get a better font :)
