This site isn't a nuclear ICBM launch facility.

Not hard to remember 12 characters buddy. Plenty of methods have been suggested here as well if you can't

Are you people high?! Which other site do you know of that requires minimum 12 character, upper and lower case letters plus a number for their password. And more importantly who the hell remembers it?

If you guys can't put a proper two step authentication procedures in place you shouldn't be asking for sensitive financial information from other people.

Yes it is completely insane all the crap they made me go through just to download one file and forget about my account for another year.

Unlock-Verification email link, Confirmation-Verification email link, both following having to reset my password with an e-mail link ... because unlike all of the sites with the worst security and account requirements arbitrarily forcing you to make weak passwords you will never remember, it's a 12 character minimum instead of 8.

 

Of course using computers since the 80s the case sensitive thing will always drive me insane because passwords were not case sensitive for decades and in many cases could not be, and the special character thing bothers me so much more because adding a special character for decades would corrupt your password ... and it is the reason I've had to hack into somebody's copy of Windows or w.e other OS a million times to recover their information. And don't get me started about password hints, always asking for information that's searchable in public records.

 

 

How much better would it be if sites with terrible password requirements like this would post the password requirements on the sign-in page? Then I would know what my password is without first having to type:

1. Alphanumeric passcode

2. Case sensitive alphanumeric passcode

3. Alphanumeric passcode with punctuation

4. Case sensitive alphanumeric passcode with punctuation

5. Longer than the usual 8 characters Case sensitive alphanumeric passcode with punctuation

6. Longer than the usual 8 characters Case sensitive alphanumeric passcode

7. Longer than the usual 8 characters Alphanumeric passcode with punctuation

8. Longer than the usual 8 characters Alphanumeric passcode

 

And then totally give up and reset password, learning in the process because of the posted requirements: which of these 8 was the password all along -_-

 

ever thought, it may just be you?

could be worse, guild wars 2 requires a full sentence with spaces as a password :P

As has been mentioned, the password requirements are fairly standard. The concrete reasoning for it is explained in this news post: https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14163

We understand that this might be an inconvenience to some.

We are, however, strongly convinced that these minimum requirements are to the benefit of the vast majority of our current and future users.
