    Edit: Most places wont allow it due to character requirements and length limits, but it does work and is cryptographically sound.

      Yep and then they require you to put special characters, numbers, and capital letters because… Reasons?

      I would be the one getting hacked, not them… Let me do what I want.

        It’s just because of entropy. More entropy is more secure.

        Also sure, it’s you getting hacked, but it’s the service that got hacked that will have all kinds of news stories written about their weak password requirements.

        Also, chbs without aA!%12345ing is way harder to inject code with.

        Not that anyone is allowed to code considerately and well anymore.
