The password length requirements are legitimately negligent.

Forcing longer passwords reduces security. It is not a good thing. That much entropy is absolutely not needed and no one remembers that password. I shouldn't require a third party app to remember my password, especially when I need to use that password outside my browser. As an IT manager: actual, legitimate incompetence. I would never trust these Nexus with payment information. Ever.

As someone who trusts Reneer more I disagree. Also, Nexus doesn't get your pay info if you use Paypal

If you'll indulge me, what is an "IT Manager"? That is such a generic term for literally anything, its hilarious.

If you are an "IT Manager" then I'll bet dollars to donuts that you are nowhere near any infosec team who's existence is to protect your systems from intruders.

Going on your post here, I'd suggest you approach your own "IT Manager" in 2021 and ask them to give you some training on the most up to date security practices, because your lack of knowledge means that you're not an asset to your company, you're a liability. It's not 1996 any more, get up to date on the latest, most basic, security measures. It ain't hard.

We understand that longer passwords might be an inconvenience to some, but we're strongly convinced it is to the benefit of the security of our users - for the reasons outlined in this thread already. You can find more information in this news post: https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14163

 

We suggest using a password manager if you cannot remember your password.

 

Lastly, let me highlight that we do not store payment information.
