Safe Passwords
Posted by matijs
In the have-we-learned-nothing category, the New York Times refuses my extra-safe password, saying:
Password can only contain letters [a-z], numbers [0-9], periods [.], underscores [_], and hyphens [-].
That’s almost as stupid as godaddy’s registration page choking on my attempts to use an ampersand in a password.
I wonder if “only letters [a-z]” really means they should all be lower case. Let’s try… No, upper case is allowed. So, it’s stupid and wrong.
