"Your password is not strong enough"
It's ok, password, don't listen to them. You're perfect the way you are.

@mayaisloading My platform application complains every time I log in. "Your password does not meet minimum complexity requirements!" Coworkers rib me for it occasionally. Then I remind them it's nearly 40 characters long and while not containing symbols, it does contain 130 or so bits of entropy. Their password meeting the minimum requirements contains 30-40.

Then I have to explain what entropy is… and how permitting "Passw0rd!" wholly invalidates the minimum requirements.

@alice @mayaisloading It's way easier for me to type '!!DrugsRemake70Wards' than 'lkr2xhnX', despite the first one being longer. Somehow this still surprises people. And then sometimes I run afoul of maximum character limits.
