    A password prompt should include all criteria upfront so that you can setup your password manager to generate a fitting password.

    Getting the criteria or even just partial after you entered one is fucking atrocious.

        Ultimately that makes it easier to break.

        How many people do you suppose don’t exceed minimum requirements? Once you’ve got that you can reduce how much you need to generate.

        Yeah, you can get that by going to the sign up process, but it generates an extra step that would also increase automation/scraping efforts since it’s rarely in the same place.

          It wouldn’t really increase the effort much. A human would have to go through the process once, then just pass those requirements off to the script. The initial setup isn’t something you typically hand off to automation.
