If you include ;",// you can mess with a wide variety of formatting.

Security advice: Just use URLs/links as password. Until next time!

Use a password like MARCH1 so that Excel will change it when the data is loaded.

That seems horribly insecure

My main problem with passwords is the limits that sites put on what I can set for a password.

I could not tell you how many times I reset my password using my password manager, then immediately log out, and log in using the credentials I just saved into my password manager, and they don't work, because the site is truncating the password to 15/20/whatever characters.

The number of times this limitation is not clearly stated, checked for, or even acknowledged by the site is too damn high.

I've made it a habit of testing a login after every password set/reset to ensure I don't have trouble with it in the future.

The amount of websites that limit passwords to 16 characters is alarming

If webpages are storing plain password and not the hash, we should be worried

Don't worry. I make sure to Sha1 encrypt them first.

Yes.

Remove apostrophes from your plural words, they show possession, not plurality. Until next time.

It's there intentionally as part of an injection attack

'; DROP TABLE `passwords`; --

Add commas* to your passwords

What about semicolon?
