Never have this problem anymore with a password keeper. All new passwords are unique.

What REALLY pisses me off is when:

  • register for account
  • cannot register, account already exists
  • password reset
  • account not found

We require our users use a password that is in between 8 and 14 characters, contains more than 2, but not exceeding 4 special characters, and at least 3 uppercase letters, 3 numbers with 0 repeating digits.

Generator: ".....fuck you?"

Aaah. I made it so far but I was defeated by chess!

And while requiring special characters, they only allow some special characters. So you just turn off special characters in the generator and then add an exclamation mark at the end

I absolutely do. It's not that the password was wrong. It's that they wanted to invalidate all existing passwords and make you change it.

The easiest way to do that is for them to force everyone through the "forgot password" workflow. Zero or minimal code changes. They don't want to make a new, but very similar , "we had a security breach and are requiring you to change your password" workflow. They just don't care that they're blaming you for their problem.

Basicly every terrible website/service that "irreversibly deletes" an account

This is more of a work computer issue than an personal computer one.
