I uninstalled it in 3 seconds.

"Password has to contain 1 upper case, 1 number, 1 special character, 1 hieroglyph, 1 math symbol, 1 emoji, and 1 Chinese character"

Fuck that.

You either let me sign up with a simple variation on the already super crazy password I use, or you can fuck right off.

This will only create an endless loop of me forgetting the password, resetting it to another ridiculous one, and forgetting that one too.

It's 2020, you should be using a password generator and master pass to access said generator with unique logins for every site you visit gramps. ANYTHING less is irresponsible and asking to get pwned.

Cool, but if the password generator app gets a data breach, it's even worse.

I see password managers as a security liability.

I agree about ridiculous password requirements, but if one-way encryption fails then EVERYTHING fails.

A proper password manager stores passwords encrypted with your password required to decrypt them. Using a password manager and requiring your password for each use is an option.

Sounds like you’re really devoted to the cause. Having to change your password was enough to send you running back under mommy’s skirt?

Jesus, no wonder we’re losing this battle 🙄
