This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not a true greentext but I hope I have captured the spirit of it. (First time I wrote smth like this, don't be harsh on me. >w<)

Websites need desperately to display their password creation rules on login pages. If I knew this particular site had (for some dumbass reason) a maximum password length less than the length of the password I'd otherwise use on that site or (also completely unreasonably) restricts special characters, I can more easily figure out what password I used when I signed up with fewer wrong guesses, all without sacrificing any security. (It's not like the rules aren't public info that anyone can get. Just don't make me go halfway through the signup process to get that information if I'm just trying to log in.)

Use a password manager, no need to remember shit then (besides your master password). For example if you want a local solution KeePass and sync the file (I use Dropbox, it's encrypted anyway). You can also access it on Android with the sync.
