Password rejections have been a bit of a problem on my new website, where several individuals encountered problems with registering. Searching the forums I've found some discussion, but no answers. The topics are locked, so I'm posting this separately.
The password requirements on my site are:
12 or more characters,
including 2 each of lower case, upper case, numbers and symbols.
After some experimenting, trial and error, I believe I've come up with the reason for the annoying rejections.
As far as I can determine, acceptable symbols are:
! # $ % & * ( ) _ - + = : ; ?
NOT usable symbols:
@ ^ + ~ “ ‘ / \ | . > , < and spaces.
For what it's worth.
