That password is already in use by user 'gigachad'.

For those wanting to play this as a game, there is this wonderfully fiendish website.

Rule 13 Your password must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji.

Sorry, you must have a special character. Oh... Not THAT special character, it has to be a special special character, that one isn't valid. Ah, no, that one's too long. It should be shorter. It needs to be between 11 and 11.5 characters.

Half the time I now just enter random nonsense until it lets me create an account. Then, when I want to access a website/app again, I just 'forget' my password and reset it to some other random nonsense.

Looks like someone's been playing the password game https://neal.fun/password-game/

“Sorry, that password is already in use” ruins it for me. That’s not a realistic message to receive.

Maybe “Your password cannot be one you’ve used previously”.

My favorite, though, is:

types in password "Password incorrect" goes to reset password "please enter a new password" types in password "your new password cannot be the same"

The worst one is when it only supports up to like 16 characters but doesn't tell you so it will only use the first 16 characters and ignore the rest. The next time you need to enter it and get the 64 character password from your password manager it will just say it incorrect and you're left with no idea on why it's wrong.

that password is already in use

lmao, "security" moment

The worst part is that if they know that password is already in use.... then they aren't storing their passwords appropriately.

Password can't exceed 32 characters

Garbage
