Error'd: Monkeys

Happy 2025 to all our readers. I can already tell this
year's columns are going to be filled with my (least)
favorite form of WTF, the impossible endless gauntlet of
flaming password hurdles to jump over or crawl under. Please comment if you know why this week's column has this title and why it doesn't have the title Swordfish.

Peter G.
starts off our new year of password maladies with a complaint that is almost poetic.

"Between desire and reality.

Between fact and breakfast.

Between 8 and -6:00.

Madness lies, lies, lies…"

 

Rick P.

keeps it going. "Must begin with a capital letter!!!" he
exclaims with three (3!) exclamation points. I think it deserved four.

Mark Whybird
justifiably grumbled
"If I knew what the policy was, maybe then I could come up with a password to satisfy it!"

R3D3-1
who swears he is NOT a bot, found a kind of interestingly complicated error challenge, opining
"Password requirements can be annoying.
Especially when they don't tell you what the requirements are, only that you failed.
But here they send me a confirmation Email, and only when
clicking the confirmation Email did they even tell me!
That's kind of a new low there… "

And finally ending this beginning, faithful
Pascal

remarks only: "WTF". Well said.
