    And that’s when they tell you what you did wrong. Sometimes they’ll reject the password without telling you why, because of some rule they didn’t list. For example, I set a password in a parking app (Flowbird) which had an unmentioned restriction against spaces and Swedish letters (dispite targeting the Swedish market). Also, it lets you set a fairly long password, but when you try to log in on their webpage they’ve set maxlength=“32” on the password field. So if you have a longer password you have to edit the DOM and remove that attribute to log in.

      This already happened to me in a big service provider (electricity) website. It’s infuriating.
