@Alexander That's right. I hate such moronic password requirements.

@Alexander Well, it's supposed to be for better safety, but I agree that there are sites that are just excesive. I mean, at this rate, one day we will be asked for passwords that have at least 50 characters, where at least 25 of them must be uppercase, symbol, numbers, emojis or unicode characters, having at least one of each type.

But really, jokes aside, the picture in this post is just a kick in the ass for morals. They are literally asking you to PAY for LESS security.

@mellogangster94 To be honest, I don't think requiring diversity in characters in passwords really creates better security. People just end up using P@ssw0rd everywhere.

Sure, there are password managers but these who use password managers will use strong passwords anyway so checks like this are not required :)
