StygianX9 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Not a single other website or service I use in 2022 still forces it's users to use such annoying password constraints.This is the type of site you'd log into every once in a while when starting a new game, and I'm sure a ton of your users forget whatever convoluted password you forced them to commit.It's just a modding website. Get real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just get a password manager. Or a memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StygianX9 Posted July 23, 2022 Author Share Posted July 23, 2022 Yeah bro let me remember the specific password requirements from this one-off temporary website that makes me login to download from two years ago.That way I can deduce what I ended up using.

M48A5 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 (edited) Why complain about the requirements, just go somewhere else for your mods. That'll show them! Edited July 23, 2022 by M48A5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmoor Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 You should be asking why the other sites you visit aren't imposing more strict requirements. It's done for security reasons and a bank should be ashamed of themselves for only requiring 6 or 8 characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StygianX9 Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Why complain about the requirements, just go somewhere else for your mods. That'll show them!Literally what is even the point of your post? There's no argument here. You should be asking why the other sites you visit aren't imposing more strict requirements. It's done for security reasons and a bank should be ashamed of themselves for only requiring 6 or 8 characters.I'm not quite seeing the comparison between a website where you download video game mods and one that provides access to your personal finances.What's at risk here?Better yet, why force people to log in just to slow download?

ScytheBearer Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) This is simple. Robin Scott's website, Robin Scott's rules. If you find the rules intolerable, leave; nobody will even notice nor care when you're gone. Edited July 24, 2022 by ScytheBearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Of all the websites a visit, this GAMING site has the most draconian rules for a password. Even my bank isn't quite so demanding. Of course, my solution to it is simply have my browser remember my passwords. Not like physical security for my machine is even remotely an issue.

Arthmoor Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'm not quite seeing the comparison between a website where you download video game mods and one that provides access to your personal finances. What's at risk here?The same thing that's at risk anywhere. Access to personal information, email addresses, reused credentials, that sort of thing. The common inference to be made here is why does Nexus have better security than most banks. So you should instead be asking why isn't your bank or other much more important website using better security measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
