I know it's bad, but there's a reason they require you to do so...

100% bullshit

they do it to have an excuse to cover their own asses; it's my account, if my account gets hacked, that's my problem, end of story

anything else is just a fucking LIE !!

I wish most consumers were like you:

it's my account, if my account gets hacked, that's my problem, end of story

Anyway, I do think requiring your passwords to be long and have upper, lower and symbol characters is very excessive!

that's because the courts are corrupt as fuck, which is why all the companies are scared that they're going to get punished for the mistakes of their clients

Too bad, "If they forced me to make a strong password, I wouldn't have lost my account" is a perfectly valid complaint for the court, and a lot of money will be wasted.

It just feels like the lesser of two evils.

i hate when apps force us to make password like that...
