Makes you think, why some websites don't allow commas in passwords.

#meme #infosec

@smiddi @Xavier I think it's safe to consider websites with such limitations as insecure and not very trustworthy.

@smiddi @Xavier Side note: just 2 years ago, I used the 'forgot password' function of a smaller Telco provider. They *emailed* it to me in *cleartext*.
My assumption is that many of the sites that impose character limits on pwd text fields do so for easier clear text storage in their database.

Discussed this with a responsible person and only got shrugging shoulders.

Automatically generated mail, or did someone copy and paste it per hand? Bonus: out of an excel sheet.

🥲

@smiddi @Xavier All of the above would be awful.
OK, the bonus would be awfuller 😉
AFAIK it was generated.
