Comment on Microsoft doesn't allow passwords greater than 16 characters in lengthparent

Comments

I've never heard anyone mention all lower case and upper case "letters", either, but I assume both versions are acceptable characters in a password. And I bet numbers are valid too. So... what is your point? (besides being funny, in which you succeeded)

Well, the password guidelines specifically say " The password can contain uppercase letters and lowercase letters. The password can contain numbers." So no ambiguity there.

They are quite clear about what characters are permitted in the password. The not permitted list is redundant, but sometimes repetition is helpful. The argument that Microsoft has somehow incorrectly identified é as "non-English" is bullshit.
