I wish there was a yelp but for website reviews. Literally was creating an account (forced to) in order to buy tickets for a one time Christmas thing, and the password requirements was 8-15, one capital, one lower-case, one number, and no symbols…
Fuck it, I’m buying the tickets in person… with cash, as I no longer trust these folks with my data to be kept secure.
How many bits of entropy does your password need? A 15 character password using those limitations will easily produce a password with 65 bits of entropy. That perfectly acceptable for an average password. High security passwords should be 80+.
The requirements of at least one upper case, lower case, and number is specifically to increase the entropy of the password. Ideally you should be using a password manager to create a random password with those requirements, and it’s trivial to do so.
