This practice is not recommended anymore, yet still found in many enterprises.

Glad we are Passwordless. Now none knows me password.

I've got this email today but I have some days left, I think

[-] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 weeks ago

Any source about why changing a password regularly is not recommended?

My work password is my weakest password. It's still pretty good though.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, but I'm more used to them saying "occasional overtime" when they mean "5-10 hours mandatory overtime, unless it's actually busy, because we refuse to hire enough people to fill all the open positions." Because there's nothing smarter than giving all your sales staff enormous bonuses while the grunts on the floor are over 6 months behind for lack of adequate staffing.

Did you reply to the wrong post?

Max. 16 characters

(Still remember: if they have a password length limit, they store the password in plain text! If they do that in the backend. They can do that in the frontend too, in the browser with javascript, which is safe.)

Why would you say that? Services are able to require special characters, variable casing and numbers. Why would the reqirement of max length of the password cause the storage to succumb to plain text?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 weeks ago

This simply depends on if they do that in the browser with Javascript (good) or on the backend.

So yes, the statement that I copied from someone else is not always true.
