your password requirements are hurting your member signup
« on: April 24, 2014, 06:22:47 PM »
I guarantee it. If you are going to have this and that restrictions on passwords, better tell people what those restrictions are up front, and not make them find out, 1 at a time, for 4 tries.

Did you ever think they are kind of an IQ test?  ;)

But I will admit, I think you are the first one to take 4 tries, either the bar has slipped, or the supreme adminstrator took pity on you.  :angel:

Welcome? Strong first two posts, complaining about the passwords and giving crap to Oleg in a very old stickied thread...  :rofl:

I do wish passwords would be set up to allow this style...

What gets bad is when your company has multiple passworded systems with different requirements.  They lecture us on computer security all the time, but the more difficult you make the password requirements, the more people will just write them down defeating the purpose of beefed up security.

What are the requirements?

I had to remember it all of a sudden when I realized I can now get APS at work.  They used to block it but I had an end around for FB.  Got caught on FB and they fixed the end around but I guess this somehow has slipped through.   >:D

I bought this computer used, and never deleted the cookies from the original owner. I don't even belong to this forum, but I get logged in automatically. Now I'm a moderator. Go figure.

How many letters or numbers did you try to use? Try two and see if that works. If that fails, try one.

I really hate it when my computer hiccoughs and dumps my browser cookies. Then I have to try to remember my passwords to all the forums I'm on.
