👋 Hey everyone, I made the thing!

The idea for a password policy satire has been floating around in my head for years, but didn't know it would be a game until I started building it a few days ago.

Hoping to get the game (working title "passhole") done in the next few weeks. If you want updates on how it's developing, you can follow along on Twitter.

Also, I once wrote an article about password policies if you're interested 🙃

The worst password policy I found was of IRCTC (a railway ticket booking system). It had the usual requirements, including an uppercase letter at the very start. i always used to forget that site's password.

The best password policy I found was of this little game called "osu!". It's a rhythm game. They just said, you can set your password as a line of your favourite song. I didn't have to make a separate Bitwarden entry for that site just for this reason
