Topic	Why do companies force you to make long passwords?
LinkPizza 10/16/22 6:53:37 AM #3:	ZangsBeard posted... Assuming a breach doesn't cost them money or other hassle to deal with... Because of bad password creation guidance from someone who has said that overly complicated passwords are wrong. They're not actually any safer, and in a lot of instances, make it easier for people to steal, because people write them down. Pass phrases are much safter, longer, and easier to remember. Yeah. I know that Ive written and typed out the complicated ones since I know I wont remember them, but will still need to use them. And before I started to write some of them down, I was changing them a bunch since I could never remember all of them. And since I made a bunch of account on different sites at different times, they all had different requirements. My earlier sites didnt need to be a certain length or have certain characters, so they are easier to use. But then, they all had to be a certain length. And then, they all had to have number and special characters It just got worse and worse --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
