I'm collecting expiration and password policy information. Have you received an email like this one? Send it on! Let's collect them all!
(I won't show any personally identifying information or company/organization names.)
I love that getting an error message is step 13.
I recently joined a (world famous technology) company. Right after I was given my initial password, I went to change it. My initial attempt was a 20 character passphrase, but no matter what combination I tried, the system always told me "The password you have entered does not meet our minimum password complexity requirements."
ReplyDeleteWhen I contact the helpdesk to find out just what those requirements were, (minimum eight chars, one uppercase, one lowercase, one digit or symbol) they told me I couldn't change my password at all, and would have to wait until it expired.
Apparently the system only has one error message.
