Don't forget to have hidden password requirements and secretly truncate any password longer than 12 characters.
Battle.net used to not be case-sensitive for passwords, back in like the pre-wow era.
Intresting. At least they got their act together, even making a physical totp authenticator in the 2000s.
Well yeah, if you don’t truncate the password to 12 chars how will you fit the plaintext in a memory efficient fixed latin1 CHAR column that only accepts letters, numbers, and underscores
