Why would your password be *******? That seems terribly insecure.
God, the tears rolling down my face laughing the first time I read that.

Just 4 characters are enough. And it includes Cap.

16 characters and a cap
Huh, I only see ****************
I just started merging 3 common passwords I use through my life in chronological order. It's a 32 letter behemoth with lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols. All in random patterns.
The middle password is one that I started using 2 years ago when I wanted a new password for my new OS installation called FreeBSD at the time. It had numbers and symbols but also "Frbsd" to stand for that name.
Now when I am signing up to a new service I change that portion in the middle of the 32 letter password so "...Frbsd..." becomes "...Gthb..." or "...Dscrd..." etc.
This way even if someone finds my password for gml it won't work for others either.
I just checked my password manager vault and I currently have 311 passwords stored there.
594 for me
I have nearly 800. I think I need to do some cleaning.
I have 401 entries, but only 384 unique passwords.
Hmm. Most of these are junk from job applications that I really should put in a trash category. I'm so glad all those places don't share a password with something important. I think.
Buttliquor007!
Done.
Haha! Now I have access to your blockbuster account! You Fool!
Why do you owe $322 in late fees for the movie Waterworld with Kevin Costner?
Why not??
I...admitted I had a Costner addiction in the mid 90s...but these "Block Busters" kept me locked up for years! Is it all water out there?!
It's not so bad once you develop a system.
And as a bonus, when a few of them leak, hackers will have a little puzzle to solve. Hackers love puzzles.
Only 16 characters?
I was on the internet early enough that I had a four character, all lower case password to my emails and it never complained once.
What? No punctuation marks? Special characters like !@#$%^&*()_+?
I got a "we've had customers accounts breached, please update your password" email the other day.
They specifically called out you can't use # in your password, and it's been bugging me why that is. What part if their system let's in other special characters but # is off limits?
Now that I’m thinking about this it’s bugging me too. If they are passing it to shell scripts maybe it’s interpreted as a comment? Some databases like Oracle use # to separate schema prefix from schema user and table name in a query? But none of those would really make sense here 🤷
EDIT they are storing it in plain text, with other values using # as a delimiter? lol
I considered database stuff, but my password shouldn't go anywhere near the database!
If they are storing it as plain text in this day and age, then there is no hope for the human race 🤦

We upped our passwords to sixteen chars last fall. Also, it’s UPPER lower digit and special-char. And we only require changing every twelve months when it used to be much more.
