      Why do I need to randomly smash my keyboard to get a password thjat is "acceptable" by this site? Huh?

      "Your password has been found in a data breach...so it's not allowed."...yea...that applies to every password you make because it's far too easy to have "data breaches" because of everything being required to have an online account.

      "Passwords with "common names" are too easy to guess,"...so..once again...you can't use any words...so...just randomly smash your keyboard.

      I am getting so sick of your password having to be something you will never remember when you come back weeks later....only for it to be found in a "data breach" weeks later....forcing you to change it to another "smash your keyboard" password.

          @leocg I couldn't log in (probably because my password was "found in a securioty breach.")..so was forced to reset it. First attempt...red...."found in a security breach." Second attempt....Yellow..and said, "Common words are easy to guess."...it wouldn't let me reset it unless I just hit jumble of letters I will never remember. You have to have the browser remember it....which every site "does not recomend."

          What I mean is, why do you now have to have a passwords with 5 different requirements...and MUST be a jumble of letters in order to be accepted, like this site apparenty requires now?...and it's not just this site.

          Why would it matter when "data and security breaches" on sites are as common as somebody sneezing?..and if somebody hacks into your account....it's "your fault for not having it secured?" Why would it matter what password I choose (and one I'll actually remember)....when it's just going to be "found in a data breach" two weeks later?
