    I think what happens is that your password is expired but rather than telling you it says it is incorrect. This way it doesn’t leak what the current but expired password is.

    Shitty way to force people to change their password. Only thing worse than this is using your email login and getting an error, requesting a new password and getting an error that the account does not exist, then trying to make a new account and being told that the account is already in use.

    Off topic: Are his nostrils that vertically different? Did I never notice this during the airing of the show? It looks like his nose is having a stroke in the second image.

      most faces are not symmetrical and would look weird if they were. I’d say some of the most beautiful people have asymmetrical faces and symmetry as a standard of beauty is a lie. we just don’t study facial features separately and rather take in the face as a whole.

      in other words, yes, his nostrils are at different height, but it’s not that noticeable in motion.

    I think sometimes the validation servers are down and rather than pass an error it just passes a “no match.”

    Your new password must have a symbol, a number, uppercase letter, lowercase letter, the middle initial of your name, the third number of your birthdate, your blood type (no dashes), the last character of your license plate and the middle number of your social security.

    Oh AND it must be 16 characters long because go fuck yourself.

      As of 2023, a 16 character password with just lower case letters could be cracked in about 713 years and the average employee stays with a company for about 3.9 years. I really think we are making people work to hard to make good enough passwords and that is how we get people making shitty passwords. And then we ask them to repeat this process every three months, and because getting a password reset is a pain in the ass they right “FuckTh15Pl@ce” on a sticky note under there keyboard (I found that one under a VP’s keyboard).

      If we were doing passwords right it would be 12 characters, three character types, last until you leave the company or there is an incident. Also, by not requiring people to change the password every so often it one less thing for the IT Auditor to crab about.

        NIST’s official password guidelines state you should not have password expiry unless there is evidence of a compromise

            The majority of accounts I have don’t have an expiry

            I wouldn’t trust personal data with anything that does - they certainly don’t have any security professionals on staff

                My last employer did not, life was so much better after the policy change. Although my director lost track of how long he had worked there because he stopped incrementing his password every three months.

    For college we use outlook for email and every time on Firefox ( or a Firefox based browser ) I enter the password wrong once it essentially tells me to fuck off and reset the password ( in a much more corporate manner, of course ).

    A single time. Doesn’t matter whether or not I was close. Then I have to resort to closing the full god forsaken browser and open it again if I want a second attempt.

    Outlook at it’s best ( which is not saying much since the bar is in Hell ).
