    My company’s password policy requires, among many other things, “no repeating characters”. Like what the Christ. How does all this bullshit make it more secure? I store my login in a password manager with far looser requirements, so fuck yo security

      Me: uses random string from password manager

      Computer: password not secure enough

      Me: provides 30 randomly selected words from a large dictionary and a cryptographically secure random number generator

      Computer: no no I meant add a ! to the end, really yell your password. Make me think you mean it :)
