To all weirdos thinking that the UK of all countries cares about free speech, have a read. It’s already silly when you do this for the USA, worse yet abroad.

My favorite, though, is:

types in password“Password incorrect” goes to reset password“please enter a new password” types in password“your new password cannot be the same”

That just means you entered it wrong the first time.

i have had this happen on some websites occasionally while using my password manager.

tony ,

Sometimes it means the page checking the password is following a different ruleset eg. the main page is case sensitive and the change password page isn’t. Sometimes it’s stuff like the entered password is silently truncated to a fixed number of characters and because of that won’t let you log in. Sometimes it’s wierd character expansions being passed directly to the password checking routine (& or similar).

I’ve had something similar happen, except the post that I found which fixed the problem was made by… me. Apparently I’d had the problem before, figured it out, and then posted an update about why it was happening and how to fix it.

That was some Twilight Zone shit.

No shit had the same experience some days ago. Felt incredibly smart for having the problem solved before and super stupid for not remembering that. I stackoverflowed my own solution. 🫣

Fun fact: password controls like this have been obsolete since 2020. Standards that guide password management now focus on password length and external security features (like 2FA and robust password encryption for storage) rather than on individual characters in passwords.

Rufio ,

I wouldn’t say obsolete because that implies it’s not really used anymore. Most websites and apps still use validation not too dissimilar from the OP, even if it goes against the latest best practices.

I’m not sure where you heard someone use the word “obsolete” that way, but I assure you that there are thousands if not millions of examples of obsolete technologies in constant and everyday use.

Yeah i agree. The best example of this is Linux. To anyone who disagrees, why does a modern operating system require you to use a terminal, or edit config files instead of changing settings in a gui?

Its THE example of ancient software being pushed on to niave techies that would rather have an insecure open source project than a safe, walled garden like Microsoft Windows 11.

Although Windows 11 does have its problems. The chief of which is bogging down the streamlined simplicity with things a normal user wont need like a package manager.

Ouch… so, you might want to learn more about technology before commenting in a Technology community…

why does a modern operating system require you to use a terminal

Because a terminal is one of the most powerful modes of interaction ever invented. It can serve as a relatively low-tech UI, but it is also simple enough to be used as a machine interface. It is lightweight, works even when other protocols and interfaces are thwarted by infrastructure issues, because it is simple text, but also meant to be read by a human, it can make for a great interface for logging, you don’t have to guess at which obscure standard (if any) to use to talk to it, compliance with relevant standards is baked into nearly every language ever written, etc.

Try building a system like Kubernetes on graphical UIs… I dare you.

What industry are you working in?! AWS is nearly all Linux. Google Cloud is nearly all Linux. Android is Linux. Hell, even Microsoft finally relented and is now strongly supporting their Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) because it’s necessary for supporting modern cloud applications.

that would rather have an insecure open source project than a safe, walled garden like Microsoft Windows 11.

Okay, this has to be a troll… right? This is a troll? Please tell me you can’t be serious.

toomanyjoints69 ,

I know it can be hard to have your ideas quedtioned, but at least try to be civil. I never questioned your intentions, yet youre acting like im crazy. A walled garden is obviously more secure than an open source project because nobody can even see the code to find vulnerabilities in it. There is a reason why Android is moving further and further away from open sores code.

I understand that you like horses. You ride one every day, and you might have evwn named your horse. The fact is that its time to buy a car. Notice i said buy. Quality software costs money, and always will. Its time to move into the future with the rest of us.

the terminal is simple

Yes i agree. Throwing rocks is also simpler than firing a gun, yet modern militaries arent training slingers anymore. Ive developed on Windows exclusivley (for a lot of money i asure you) and ive never once had to use a terminal ever. I literally just have to email my source code to my boss, and he compiles it. Theres no need to use a terminal when i have Visual Studio and Outlook. If you want to be a cool hackerman you can, but id rather use something thats intuitive and works.

I think anyone who uses Linux is stuck in the past. Communism doesnt work either, bucko.

I think that’s all you. I have never suggested that you are crazy. I suggested that calling Microsoft software “safe” as opposed to Linux which is, “insecure,” sounds like trolling. But that’s because it sounds like trolling. No crazy stated or implied.

A walled garden is obviously more secure than an open source project because nobody can even see the code to find vulnerabilities in it.

You should learn more about the world of software. Seriously. Security experts have been reasonably unanimous in their support of the “Many Eyes Make All Bugs Shallow” approach to software security for decades, even while they have criticized it as a mantra that ignores the flaws in a presumption of open source software security.

But just to put it in a simple logically sealed box: Microsoft’s source code has been leaked several times, and of course, bad actors probably have gained access to it throughout the years without such public knowledge. This means that the fundamental difference between Microsoft’s proprietary codebase and open source codebases is not, cannot be the availability of source code. Rather, it is the ability for independent groups to review the code on an ongoing basis.

When the only difference is independent review, the only possible result is higher security.

I understand that you like horses. You ride one every day, and you might have evwn named your horse. The fact is that its time to buy a car.

None of this constitutes a logical refutation to the examples I provided, which are critical components of modern software development and deployment.

Source: I’m a professional software release engineer who has worked with many of the world’s largest corporations.

Quality software costs money

For starters, this is unfounded cargo culting. There is no evidence for this at all. I can point to dozens of very expensive piles of crufty old software that no one should ever go near, and also to some free software that is literally foundational to the modern software world.

Money has nothing to do with the quality of software, but you’re also mistaken if you think open source software is free. You can pay IBM millions of dollars for a suite of enterprise-ready open source software. Most of the cost in such software is rarely the software itself. It’s services, support, training and customization.

Throwing rocks is also simpler than firing a gun, yet modern militaries arent training slingers anymore

But they are succeeding wildly by using largely open source software running on open hardware for drones, networking, battlefield analysis, logistics, etc.

fubo ,

Since 2017 at least; and IIRC years before that; that’s just the earliest NIST publication on the subject I could find with a trivial Web search.

pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html

Verifiers SHOULD NOT impose other composition rules (e.g., requiring mixtures of different character types or prohibiting consecutively repeated characters) for memorized secrets. Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically). However, verifiers SHALL force a change if there is evidence of compromise of the authenticator.

“Memorized secrets” means classic passwords, i.e. a one-factor authentication through a shared secret presumed to be known to only the right person.
