We have for you this week a full set of the Error'd we most love to hate: the perverse password policy.
An anonymous reader drops this, with little to say except to note "Speciaal passwords". Evidently they supplied a password which satisfied each of the five green critera, but still it was rejected. It would be nice to know where this offense originated,
Intrepid Michael R. explains "note: Handy is the German term for mobile phone (UK) or cell phone (US)."
Sacha R. observes a secret policy at play, saying "Oracle try to do the right thing by showing you the password policy requirements when you manually reset a password in their Fusion applications. It's just a pity that it doesn't show you the *correct* password policy requirements."
"Faith, here's an equivocator," reports Matthew S. "Pick one, Staples!" I bet it's the ampersand that offends.
"At least letters or numbers?" questions a final anon. "Just a little head scratching moment. After removing all special characters from the password I was able to register." This looks like partly a translation wtf and partly a software design wtf.
