Its not about the length of your password, you’re just not meeting the password requirements. You’re missing a special character
I think they understand that. They are just calling out how outdated those password requirements are. In reality, a 32-character password made up of just alphanumeric characters is more secure than an 8-character password that also includes special characters. OP knows this fact, but they see that the website does not, so they are bringing that up here.
“Your password doesnt meet the required 64 bits of entropy”
Yeah OK, I just had to read that twice to see you’re right.
The title is ambiguous (or perhaps vague, more accurately).
“doesn’t let me use my 32 char password” can be interpreted as:
-
it does not allow passwords of 32 characters in length, regardless of composition
-
it does allow passwords of 32 characters in length, which should be sufficient with or without special characters
In one reading, the special character requirement is the issue. In the other, the length.
Yay for English.

Proving yet again, no matter how clear the messaging users won’t read it.

Even worse, if you complete the registration you have to use that shitty app
I don’t know why it takes 45 seconds every time it needs to update the screen.

It’s not the password that is weak. Your flesh is weak and it waits to be consumed, tiny human
Fuck UG. Seriously. Find something better. I’d suggest Songsterr.
UG basically started as a “free tabs” website and collected everyone’s contributions. Later, they pay walled all of it without compensating anyone.
Go suck a dick, UG.
Maybe the characters you picked were just weak? Use stronger characters next time /s
At least that’s better than when the site accepts the password but doesn’t actually let you log in with it.
My old college was like that with their SSO. It would accept any type of password you threw at it. But then you just wouldn’t be able to sign into anything, so you’d be forced to reset your password again, but it doesn’t tell you that’s what the problem is, so you just have to sorta guess what it was.
I got to discover that one program at work let’s you change your password as expected but silently drops everything after character 16 entered while doing so. Of course that’s not mentioned in any documentation I have access to.
