Password specification
Aug. 21st, 2015 02:25 amHave you ever been in a situation where you forget your password to some website or something...
and you try a few options on the login page, but none of them work...
so you click on "forgot my password!" and go through the rigmarole where they send a message to your email or phone or something to confirm your identity...
and you eventually get to the page where you can set a new password...
and on that page it says "Passwords must contain at least one capital letter, one number, and one punctuation mark"...
and you're like, "well, if you'd told me that on the login screen I would have remembered what my password was and not had to go through that whole process"?
