Why we don't change our passwords

junglejim1949 Loc: Sacramento,CA

Today I opened a new email account, I always use the same password: "cabbage". It's easy to remember. But it seems the computer had other plans...

Please enter your new password:
"cabbage"

Sorry, the password must be more than 8 characters.
"boiled cabbage"

Sorry, the password must contain 1 numerical character.
"1 boiled cabbage"

Sorry, the password cannot have blank spaces.
"50bloodyboiledcabbages"

Sorry, the password must contain at least one upper case character.
"50BLOODYboiledcabbages"

Sorry, the password cannot use more than one upper case character consecutively.
"50BloodyBoiledCabbagesShovedUpYourArse,IfYouDon'tGiveMeAccessnow”

Sorry, the password cannot contain punctuation.
“ReallyPissedOff50BloodyBoiledCabbagesShovedUpYourArseIfYouDontGiveMeAccessnow”

Sorry, that password is already in use!

Yeah. Password rules are annoying. I hate not being able to use words I've used in the past.

The one thing I enjoy about passwords is, they do not tell you the rules until you have entered a password......Then they tell you only why it is wrong.

If you are on a Mac, use the Safari-generated passwords. They work most of the time.... I started doing that now and it saves me a lot of aggravation.

Know exactly what you mean, those new e-mail accounts can really be a pain in the ass!

And each time you enter something wrong you have to retype everything! Sometimes I swear they have so many bloody rules, there’s only one password available.....
