when the regex cant handle your secure password.
`data-val-regex-pattern="^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[_@$<>%#*.,:;\-!?&|])[A-Za-z\d_@$<>%#*.,:;\-!?&|]{12,}$"`

i suppose i should create a les secure one then

the password which failed that regex was `bY<7=h1{fk(WtL#4YPy,Q&7Wd2M?eknf`

@bob I hate it when they put stupid limits on passwords, always makes me wonder how shitty their system is, after all they should only be saving the encoded version and the seed so the actual password can be as long as you like with whatever characters you like.

@bob that is a genuinely bananas way of enforcing password rules that shouldn't even exist

@bob I hate these selective punctuation rules because functionally they mean I need to fully turn punctuation off and make my password much weaker, or, change the constraints arbitrarily until they happen to produce the required symbols and no banned ones

@jcoglan yeah. I'm this close to sending an email to the organisation pointing at the ncsc advice. the new login page now stops pasting just to make life even more fun.
