Hi,

Just saying

Either stop booting out accounts
or give me a choice to use simpler passwords combination

cant keep trying to remember inane password combination
and hell as not using my own secure password on this site (no offence)

I commend the upgrade of security mentality

but booting me out is insane (no, the above is not a typo)

We don't check for "weak" passwords. There is no requirements to use any kind of character combinations in your password.

The only check is for "known" or "compromised" passwords. We check against https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords and if your password appears here, then it will not be accepted. Simple.

If you're still dumb enough to use a known compromised password, then it not only risks your account being compromised, it also risks other members of the community when someone abuses your account for monetary gain. As such, there will be no compromises to use of known/compromised password.

And since you don't seem to feel this account requires a secure password, just generate a random password from the many online generators like https://passwordsgenerator.net/, and paste it on your monitor (or a text document on your desktop).

Fair enough,



It's just that we used to go by months, years even without needing re login

Just wondering will this be a standard affair?

We have not changed the lifespan of your login cookies, it should remain active unless you explicitly log out.

We only check if your password is compromised during login, not everytime you visit the site.

Okay then
