Another LastPass Security Incident
- Thread starter Ice Tea
- Start date
We are all annoyed me old mate, this is just general discussion not speakers corner.
I admire you ability to use that interface, even my Uncle dislikes it and he's a Man that misses CeeFax.
Shhhhhhhhhhh!, don't tempt fate.
I'm down to about my last 40 or so, it's a complete pain that some websites make it so long winded.
This is easier said than done, a lot of sites I've tried to close haven't always had the option, some requiring you to raise a support case.
Sloppy programming that hasn't been updated in a long time.

If that's what you got to do then so be it, better the account off the site than on.
Hahaha tell me. The ones that lastpass detect the update are great. Had 3 in a row and felt like I'd won the lottery.We are all annoyed me old mate, this is just general discussion not speakers corner.

Well, exactly but Gary was trying to claim that isn't the case...

Isn’t sloppy programming it just hasn’t been coded to handle certain stuff.
Like I said.

The bit you seem to be missing is explaining why that's the case:
Is there some good reason to restrict to only letters and numbers?

Some idiot in IT though?
Yes, it is idiotic, especially these days. There are all sorts of funky old password rules that interfere with simply using a password generator such as the ones built into Chrome or Safari which generate robust passwords rapidly.

Then change the password manager auto generation to match their criteria, not hard or time consuming.

That's not the point though, that you can use workarounds doesn't negate that the rules are dumb in the first place.

Dumb or not they not there for you to decide that’s up to the company. Change the options to generate your password.

It is the point you not going to change anything by winging on.
If you want to complain go complain to wherever is ******* you off with allowing certain characters.
Gary, I really don't understand what you want here, no one is changing anything here, it's an internet discussion board FFS!

It’s not - you are supposed to complain to the companies with the problems. You not allowed to discuss things here.
I’m not so sure what can be discussed about a company not allowing certain chars but there’s a work around.
Also I’m not a Gary that’s just my username lol.

I've just had a look at KeepassXC for the first time in years and i have to say it looks a bit more polished than i remember it ( unless i'm confusing it with older Keepass ) but my god the user interface is still confusing for an idiot like me.
I find it intimidating that i might **** up the data base.
