What is your favourite password rule?

Wrote this in a different thread but the way PlayStation handles this...

Password reset is limited to 30 characters. Login isn't.

That would be fine if the password rules on reset would actually mention this and not just cut off the password at 30 characters without telling you that it is too long. So I generated the password used that on reset, saved it, login wrong...

I couldn't login to my PlayStation account because my 32 characters long password saved in my bitwarden vault wasn't correct.

Even worse, on the first support request I was basically told "looks fine on our side, bye".

Change your password every three months

Fucking macOS man. No 2 repetitive or 3 consecutive, so when using a random password generator you still can’t have loads of words and have to try multiple times to get it…

Perfect illustration of security compliance vs security.

Your password must contain at least 62 characters, you may only use lowercase and uppercase characters and numbers. All characters and numbers must be unique and sorted alphabetically, numbers may only be ordered ascending.

"One of the characters of your chosen password was used in the same position 12 password-changes ago, but I won't tell you which"
