FFS Matrix! Still no complex passwords allowed??

Post by blond_knight_new »

Come on guys, you finally update the ancient forum software and Im still unable to set a complex password. Are you deliberately trying to get hacked?

Thanks for the feedback. The issue is that older games have password requirements that prevent this. If we let you set your password up then you would not be able to play a bunch of older games in PBEM. So this is for backwards compatibility. This is one of the down sides of having a very long shelf life on our games.

Something like:

zP672RYWRU2A8FGx(x5
3Yq5dJQE$N#*}B]Eq;n

Or better yet:

I am very happy with my 7 character easy to remember (probably easy to hack, but this is not a banking app) password.

8V`hj:p~GgRQ.#'%e'k`
