Comment on Why would a site block automatically generated passwords?

Comments

While attempting to help a family member register for an account on this credit/finance company, I noticed that amongst the password requirements was this statemant:

" We do not accept automatically generated passwords from IOS / Android"

What would be the reason for that?

It may be relevant that Creation Finance are known as a bottom-feeder type credit agency preying on people who have bad credit history. I am assuming that anything they require of their customers is somehow a dark pattern but I can't figure out what it might be here.

The most common dark pattern: stupidity.
