    Here’s my recent favorite:

    • Try to log into site
    • Tells me my password is wrong… uhh okay
    • Try to reset password by auto-filling a new one from my password manager
    • New password set successfully! Yay!
    • Try to login again… fail. Wrong password… fucking what…?
    • Realize that their password field was clipping the password length off at some max length not fucking mentioned anywhere, so I have no clue what the actual password is without trial-and-erroring, which then results in an account lockout again

    I’m a programmer and this kind of blatant stupidity from massive companies pisses me off to no end. MAKE YOUR PASSWORD REQUIREMENTS CLEAR. MAKE YOUR UX CLEAR.
