Dear Kroger.com,
I did a double take when you rejected my password at account creation. I had to read it twice before I understood the violation was that I entered a password longer than 12 characters. Can I get a “FFS!” then an “Amen!”
Love,
me
Oh Kroger.com

Login systems that require REALLY complicated passwords, but refuse long passwords, are a serious beef of mine. Let me type out a simple but long password, and I assure you it’ll be harder to crack than that pseudo-LEET garbage….
I only know 3 passwords: Google, Dropbox, and KeePass. The rest are generated and unique. I suppose if I ever lost access to my KeePass crypt I’d be hosed, but this has worked for me for most of a decade. I have been able to boot myself up on multiple new computers and phones by just knowing those 3, so the system does work. Also, whenever there is a major password crack at a site, I never worry about my accounts being compromised anywhere else from that.
My health insurance’s invoicing password required a password that was between 6 and 8 characters. o_o
