Comment on Locked out: How a gift card purchase destroyed an Apple accountparent

Comments

Companies that are limiting what characters people use in their passwords are almost definitely doing something incredibly wrong with security.

(passwords should be hashed...)

This is one of my go-to checks for actual security (not the one in yhe certification)

- limits on the length

- limits on the characters

- blocking paste

- weird limits on the email

This is a sign of a lack of real competence
