Does it tick you off when you want to join some site and then they ask you to

use a Strong Password. Like they'll say don't use common words and so on. I REALLY hate that.

No, because I have a couple different passwords of various lengths that always come to mind for different sites.

I dont mind, all of my passwords are combinations of words that only have meaning to me and numbers. I used to play WoW so the threat of hackers was always at my door

Eh my school makes me change mine every 6 months so I normally just use my outdated ones for stuff like facebook/here.

I hate it if its a site I'm just randomly signing up for just to get access to something. Like a site I don't really care about. For important things like my email I use different passwords between all of them and they're all quite strong passwords. For some random site I join to get a coupon or something I don't care what really happens to the account and I don't want to have to struggle to think of another complicated password and then have to remember it.

yes, cause needing a secure password is complete bull.

After failing 300x in a row on my password you'd think a brute force attack would be obvious to any security team. It's not something hard to add in. On the other end of the spectrum I hate when I'm locked out after 3 failures... especially when it was a caps lock mistake.

All having a secure password ensures is that users will forget their password, and need to rely on "forget your password" questions, or tech support. Both of which are completely unsecure. Remember when sarah palin's facebook, and yahoo account got hacked, and it was all because the hacker googled the answers?

I can understand a site not letting me use certain things for a password (qwerty, letmein, username), but other than that it's rediculous.

I hate when they want something like

ex. Password!

Capital and symbols... :x

I don't really care but why does it bother you?chathuranga

I hate when they tell you to enter your phone number so you can confirm via text message *cough*Google*cough*

That kinda annoys me, but other things annoy me more: Stubbing my toe in the night or my cat scratching me.

No, but it annoys me when they disallow you to use the name of the website in it, though I see the logic.

I'll tell you what... I have the same password for everything, and shorter versions of it for less than legit sites... My password like 20+ characters though, that involve my bank account, my social security number, and my childhood hero...

If a hacker can guess 25 randomly placed characters that involve my childhood hero (that only I know of), my Social Security number that only I, My employer, and the government know, AND my bank account info that only I, my bank, and the government know... Then good for them.

But in 6 years since I first made an account with a password on the internet... I have never been "hacked"... Same password the entire time...

Most people don't use a strong password or their idea of a strong password is their dogs name. Ace6301
