Still annoying imoBloodkraze said:RyderRider15 said:Do we really need to have the mix case rule? Its a little annoying.
It requires 1 capital letter, I don't see that as being annoying when you put it as the first letter. It's not like you need to be a teenage girl and go "ThIsIsMyPaSsWoRd1"
Why you gotta go telling everybody my password?! :lol:Bloodkraze said:It's not like you need to be a teenage girl and go "ThIsIsMyPaSsWoRd1"

I do, and I use that. However thats part of the problem lol. One day ima clear my data and forget what letter is a cap. I don't see why we have to be forced to use caps if we don't want to. I have nothing against case sensitive, but I don't want to use itToastToGo said:RyderRider15 said:Do we really need to have the mix case rule? Its a little annoying.
It's something that you can easily get used to.
If you have a browser that can save passwords, it wouldn't really matter after the first log-in anyway.

But shouldn't that be up to us? Also the more rules for passwords the less diversity you have
As an IT Monkey, no, extra requirements introduces greater complexity. Most places require at least 8-characters, alphanumeric, with a capital or special character nowadays. Too much butt-raping hacked accts otherwise.RyderRider15 said:But shouldn't that be up to us? Also the more rules for passwords the less diversity you have

But wouldn't having a req lighten the load on the hacker? Now they know there are mixed cases, instead of being in the dark if the user is using mixed casing or not. Also I fail to see how my account being hacked would really effect anyone but me, so why force the mixed casing?Ducman69 said:As an IT Monkey, no, extra requirements introduces greater complexity.

Still fail to see why we have to use mixed casing.Bloodkraze said:No not at all. Seeing as how most people would share your mentality of "Well, having mixed cases is annoying" a large majority of people would make their password all lower case just in case they happened to forget it they won't have to remember "Is this one of those websites that used mixcase?". No matter what you say it's still fact that the most used passwords are always ones that have lower case and/or obvious sequences.
