Maybe all password-related positions are filled with the most backwards people possible? Across all companies? In a world wide trolling attempt? Or their password limitations come from the underlying programming language/database/system that cannot handle certain special characters, spaces or too many characters at all?
It's probably no coincidence that even (or especially) large companies sometimes have to deal with massive data leaks due to incredibly ancient (or no) password encryption on their end. And the best part? Sometimes they try to hide these leaks instead of notifying everybody ASAP. Because, you know, most people are lazy as fuck and tend to use just one or two different passwords for ALL their accounts, so it would be sort of nice to know for them that they should maybe 1) change their password on all their accounts, and 2) maybe use a different password for each account.
