duffn··on A compilation of websites with dumb password rules
I've previously had somebody from Microsoft reach out to me directly about their entries and had somebody from RedHat create an issue, but I don't think either actually took action.

I'll continue to try though and am evaluate ways that the site can actually help companies update their rules.

Thanks for the feedback, the gallery seems to be not well loved, so will be re-evaluated.

Good feedback, thanks! Pagination through items would be a great addition and the gallery seems to be not loved, so will be re-evaluated.

This is a good idea. I’ll think about how to handle it.

Hi, I made this.

It seems like most of you are as enraged as I am about some of these password rules. They just flat out make me mad.

It's not much, but I've actually had one company reach out to me after making it on the list and they made their password rules less dumb.

So, if you find any particularly egregious offenders, do your part and submit a PR. It may actually make a difference.

I agree. It would be fine for the vast majority of people, but I can't ever see myself actually writing code on an iPad.

A bit of a hodge-podge of books, but I always have a hard time turning down a good book deal.

Sure. If you could also provide a description in English as well I think that would be helpful. Here's a non-English example: https://github.com/duffn/dumb-password-rules#movistar

According to the screen shot in the repo, it's not even case sensitive either.

This is the second time I've now heard of this since starting the repo. I cannot believe an online financial institution allows this.

Feel free to submit a PR if you like.
