    These are the same companies that state that users are responsible for choosing secure passwords… and then they make this as difficult as possible to do.

    Finance needs to be held accountable. They’ve skim off far too much wealth for the value they produced.

      They provided password requirements which he ignored.

      Accountable for what, exactly?

        No, you misunderstood what happened: &quot;Chrome inputs only abcdefghijklmnopqrstu (20 characters) as shown below&quot;

        1Password generated a password longer than 20 characters. When pasted, Chrome silently truncates the paste to the input maxlength!

        Look at the screenshot: The requirement &quot;Between 8 to 20 characters long&quot; has a green checkmark, because the requirement is satisfied.
