User Troubleshoots Password Problem
-
Here is our abbreviated password policy: 1: Must contain at least one lowercase letter. 2: Must contain at least one uppercase letter. 3: Must contain at least one digit (0-9). I had a user explain to me today that she had problems setting a new password. She was pretty proud of herself because she managed to troubleshoot the problem on her own. She had a problem, re-read the password policy, and realized she had included the number 13 in her password when the policy only allows 0-9. She removed the '3' and it worked. I just nodded and smiled.

When the policy says "Must contain at least one digit (0-9)" , As I understood the password must have at least one digit but it shouldn't restrict the user to have more than one digit right? like the password containing two digits 1 followed by 3 :-D

Those are a bit simple: where is the Haiku? The Gang Sign? You can't have a properly secure password system without those... :laugh:
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

Your password policy sucks. You should allow a tolerance there - so users should be able to go up to at least 15! :thumbsdown:

Somehow the email for your post made it through the junk mail filter. Have to tell them to look for the word porno. :)
