Hey YOU!!! Yes, you random webside.
You do not deserve that kind of password requirements.
If you are a forum, online game, mod manager ffs, microsoft etc... YOU DO NOT DESERVE MY GOOD PASSWORD. You get the common no capitalization, no numbers, no special characters and in dictionary password exactly as you deserve.
And guess what... What happens if they hack my nexus account? Are the hackers going to download mods from my mod list? Are they going to read MY public posts?
I fucking don't care...
Get on your own fucking level. If your site is worthless, use an adequate password requirements for fucks sake.
This rant was brought by github, where I created account to upload 1 file and learn workflow for my job.

It should not be a full time job to work arourn your inability to accept simple passwords for services with 0 loss in case they are hacked.
Why should I not be able to just download skyrim mods without downloading a 3rd party software and finding my phone before I can login into your shitty service?
@mgrondin
That is like saying a WORKING communism is a good thing.
But what you end up with are users using the same password on forum as well as e-mail, because their weak password was refused.
So, when inevitebly one source leaks, guess what... Their e-mail password is leaked too only because the dumb site refused monkey for a registration on site, that was used once...
@Zerglingman @mgrondin
Honestly, that makes it even worse IMHO.
@Zerglingman @mgrondin
Fuck.... I already remember it...
@Zerglingman @mgrondin
no, it was a reaction to https://xkcd.com/936/
@Zerglingman @mgrondin
Definitelly.
@Zerglingman @mgrondin
Not gonna lie, some sites pissed me off enough, that I just use a random string, and always log in through a reset password feature.
@mgrondin
And setting password requirements based on people who use password managers is like basing max speed on road based on rally drivers. Technically a good idea, but it will destroy everyone elses safety.
@mgrondin
BTW, why do you think it's reasonable to have this kind of demands on normies?
@mgrondin
Man, I love IT security, but the way it is thought/ implemented is awful...
And I don't agree about trigonometry either
Ok. Thanks for sharing.
@LukeAlmighty
I think the whole point is to annoy you into using a password safe. 🔐
@awaspnest
Again... it has the exact opposite effect on the population, so that's why I care.
Sorry but good passwords should be common practice and everyone should use them everywhere.
Use a password that is either offline and sync it somehow or use nextcloud or something equally self hosted and don't worry about it.
