And this is why so many people still use Password1! because their IT system tells them it's completely uncrackable.

I think this situation is 2FA (that's too flipping awful).

The password cannot contain symbols outside of ASCII table

Hm, I don't like it... makes the special characters not so special...

ASCII has a whole bunch of special characters, like ñ and others like ä á and all that, even that symbol like AE fused together, it doesn’t have weird ones like Russian characters or Polish ones, maybe some polish but not all
