Topic	Why do companies force you to make long passwords?
Zareth 10/16/22 10:36:52 PM #43:	captpackrat posted... The dumbest "password" rule I've ever seen was creating a PIN for my American Express card. You are REQUIRED to use a date as the PIN (American style, month first). 0911, 0704, 1225 or the like. You CANNOT just use any number you want. You can't have 0666 or 1312. That means instead of 10,000 possible numbers, there are only 366. And there's a 75% chance the first digit will be a 0 (and a 25% chance of a 1). And the third digit can only be a 0, 1, 2, or rarely a 3. This is why you get VISA like a normal person --- What would Bligh do? <cite>Zareth posted [p:968767247] in Why do com...
