i love the kafkaesque experience of password resets.
"that password is too similar to a previous password"
to which one? similar in what way? and does that have any security impact? (it does not)
you can spend hours sitting at one of these prompts, unable to do your job. literally the only practical solution is to shit line noise into the godforsaken thing, then use a password manager.
the sole reason password managers are useful is that they don't have dumbshit requirements, so you can use the same, low-complexity password, that you can actually remember, indefinitely. that's what they are. they are a "complexity requirements condom"
After 20 minutes of grinding my teeth as the stupid piece of shit rejected every password I could come up with (including Correcthorsebatterystaple) the stupid piece of shit finally accepted "Horseshit!fable" so, that's a freebie if you can figure out which system I was logging into.
