@gregthemiller I should be able to decide if my password is good enough, if it needs numbers or special characters. If I want to live dangerously and have my password be "ABCD" they should let me. The lack of personal responsibility these days is worrying to me. If having a "weak" password bothers them so much, they should have a check box that says "I understand someone might spent thousands of hours trying to brute force my password and gain access to my Panfu account and I'm fine with making it easier for them." The lack of personal responsibility these days is worrying to me.

@gregthemiller surely we're advanced enough as a species to build cryptographically irreversible vibe checks

@gregthemiller@beige.party The amount of time, getting locked out because my fingers just are having a grumpy day, I kind of agree. Except, proper password storage, kind of prevents "close enough" being an option.

@gregthemiller that's absolutely possible technically but the tradeoff is that they can't be stored securely by the service you're entering your password into

@gregthemiller Whenever websites are like “you changed this password two months ago,” I want to yell back, “yes and you already know I have terrible ADHD so let’s just agree to pretend that didn’t happen or or we’ll both be here all day”

@gregthemiller I came into the replies looking for someone explaining why that isn't cryptographically viable, because this is the Fediverse after all, and I was not disappointed. Personally, I'd like every password to be checked once as if my keystrokes were on Dvorak, and then again as if they were on Qwerty.

@gregthemiller facebook (used to?) do this -- they would hash your password in a few different forms since mobile input fields make it hard to know if you typed the right one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dPRFoKteIU&t=960s

@gregthemiller The UK Department of Work and Pensions does exactly this on their website for claiming government benefits and reporting income!

@gregthemiller AI passwords - that's not your password, but it fits the general pattern of your passwords.
