How difficult is it really?
-
Gaaahhh!!! I recently registered on a website that doesn't accept upper-case letters in a username/email-address. :omg: So today I tried to log in -- all it does is tell me that the login failed. Over and over and over again. :wtf: Can't you at least do a freakin' ToLower on whatever the user entered?
When I registered on my online car insurance company it allowed me to insert special characters in the password. Comes the year later, I need to renew my insurance * they don't accept those characters anymore, * didn't bother to alert anyone, * didn't accept my fully working password, * the "forgot passowrd" button sent an e-mail with the registered password in clear-text (with all the implications on their storage method), * they didn't have any method to create a new account without creating a new contract, which meant starting from the highest merit class available - basically incerasing 8 times the price of my insurance.

If they don't accept UpperCase in username/email, that's weird but still not too bad. Imagine they do accept it, AND insist on case-sensitivity when you log-in... "Bernie" != "bernie" - which one did I use? E.g. with postgresql, string comparison is case-sensitive by default...

In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

So.. do they have fraud insurance to cover themselves when their system gets hacked?

I sincerely hope so. Better than that I hope someone hacks them and pays my insurance bill but that's not gonna happen. ;P

Well, if Lloyd was a Genius he would have an insurance company with a misspelled Alliance. Gosh this is almost CCC material.
