1 year agoWow, trimming passwords without telling the password owner is a terrifying behavior.
Also, having a password limit at less than 256 chars is silly in the modern world of password managers, and even 256 is a completely arbitrary limit i pulled out of my ass.
Why does the lemmy platform require short passwords, i wonder? nobody with any sense of modern, or even out-dated decades ago, sense of security stores passwords raw anymore, and hasn’t forever because it was recognized as a terrible idea and a bad pattern decades ago.
This is so emotionally manipulative / abusive, and says everything anyone needs to know about reddit/spez. It’s like if someone burns down your house and says “look i’m here to acknowledge that your house has been burned down, but we can still work things out bestie <3”
