Edit: @Successful_Try543@feddit.org solved it. It says “one special character”. Not “at least one”.

    It says one special character, not at least one. Maybe the password has more than one.

      Holy shit!! You did it. I would never expect a banking password to max special characters. I have been scratching my head with Bitwarden and this shitty app for an hour.

        Yeah but It still states “A combination of letters, digits and special charaters”

        It should then be spelled as “A combination of letters digits, and one special character”

      I love how the acceptance/rejection status is messed up.

      If it’s only one special character, then that should be unchecked not check, and the combination of “letters, numbers and special characters” should be check marked.

        problem is the late stages of the game the password requirements change when your password’s emojis start catching fire.

    If >1 special character is not allowed the last check should be failed . The second check is literally satisfied even if there are 2+ specials.

    I’d not be using that bank.

    Maybe you accidentally did a permutation instead of a combination.

      I used to use a system that was perfectly happy to let you use a semicolon when setting the password, but then login would fail if you did.

    Please tell me someone didn’t buy software with ‘atleast’ spelled like that in there. Please, tell me someone tested the web app and had the brains God gave a douglas fir and knew that wasn’t a word; that it was never a word; that the writer’s spell check should have picked that up; that it’s not been over-ruled by stupid so much that it just takes it.

    Well now. When we’ve been enforcing password requirements at work, we’ve had to enforce a bizarre combination of “you must have a certain level of complexity”, but also, “you must be slightly vague about what the requirements actually are, because otherwise it lets an attacker tune a dictionary attack against you”. Which just strikes me as a way to piss off our users, but security team say it’s a requirement, therefore, it’s a requirement, no arguing.

    “One” special character is crazy; I’d have guessed that was a catch-all for the other strange password requirements:

    • can’t have the same character more than twice in a row
    • can’t be one of the ten-thousand most popular passwords (which is mostly a big list of swears in russian)
    • all whitespace must be condensed into a single character before checking against the other rules

    We’ve had customers’ own security teams asking us if we can enforce “no right click” / “no autocomplete” to stop their users in-house doing such things; I’ve been trying to push back on that as a security misfeature, but you can’t question the cult thinking.

        “Password managers are insecure because then all your passwords are just under one password” - Some higher up

    If you have to try really hard to meet their password requirements, that’s how you know it’s super secure.
