It's like investments, got to finesse your body bassis. Fill up 3-5 gallons at 3.99 but now you could get 10 out whatever now and bring your average in between! That's what I do in my mind somewhat, get a dip fill 3 cars and trucks and only drive the 35mpg shit ox while it's high

I am trying to make a login for my companies new 401k administrator. Un fucking believable.
It tells me I need 3 of the 4 following.
Cap letter
Lower case
Number
Special character.
So I enter a password with all but the special character. It won't let me register because the special character is required.
Ok cool whatever. I make one with all 4.
It won't let me register because my password needs to be more secure and I should use more than one word.
I enter the password with spaces. It was already a sentence so no big deal. As soon as I enter the first space the special character requirement lights up red again and it won't let me create the account because the special char is still required.
update:
I talked to tech support. Get your big chief tablet and number 2 pencil out because you're going to want to take notes.
When you get that message saying "your password needs to be more secure, try using a phrase", there are 2 things the average bear has no way of knowing.
1. It spits out that message because it compares your password to a list of hacked passwords from the dark web and it will not let you use any password that has ever been hacked. Regardless of the username. In all of history. So basically you have to come up with one nobody has ever used.
2. Spaces aren't allowed. When it says try a phrase. It doesn't mean that literally. It's just meant to be a meaningless platitude to frustrate you.
I guess their security philosophy is, if the user can't remember his password the funds are secure. You fucking IT fucks wonder why we keep writing our passwords on sticky notes.

Use Bitwarden with a random generated master password (mine is 32 chars long and I don't remember it cuz it's jibberish) and use the random password generator in it to sing up for your sites. Lastpass was getting hacked left and right, have not had a problem with Bitwarden, plus it's free.
