Re: Can a grownup, please...?
Even worse, is that your example "batteryHorseStaplerChernobylAaaalfa" is too long a password for many inconsequential websites, such as, oh, I don't know, Microsoft's outlook.com or the Office/Microsoft365 business portal...
When I set up my business account last year, I had to chop the password I had thought of in half, before it was accepted! At least I could turn on 2FA on the thing.
But this is very common, a lot of websites refuse to accept complex passwords, because they use special characters that weren't expected or the passwords are simply too long!
