    Sorry, that password is already in use

    BIG red flag. Abort. Abort.

    Also I love when they only support certain special characters. So the psuedo random noise created by my password generator won’t work until I curate out the unsupported characters.

      I was changing my password on a pretty big company website the other day.

      The password generated by my password manager kept giving me a http error (500 I think)

      I generated a new password and deleted all the special characters other than the obvious ones. Boom, worked first time.

      So looks like someone is not sanitising their inputs properly.

      I sent them an email so hopefully they will fix.

      I always just refresh the password until I get a random one without the characters the randomly choose to forbid 😂
