Comment on Ask HN: Is there a good reason for disallowing some characters from a password?parent

Comments

While password managers are great, there are some cases where I prefer to memorize the password.

That is because I want to be always able to easily access these accounts even when traveling or losing access to my technological devices. Though sadly these days things like 2FA make my life much harder in that regard.

Accounts that insists on doing 2fa over SMS...

No only is SMS generally considered insecure, it also falls down dramatically when I travel to the mountains where there's no cell coverage and try to do things on the cabin wifi.
