One of my banks still does this. I keep telling them this is outdated security practice from the 1960's but they don't listen. The upshot is that they're encouraging people to use weak passwords they can remember, and then recycle them: password1, password2, password3 etc. They also won't let me use a password manager on their website, so I have to copy-paste from a different window or tab. So many of these rules come from CYA. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
