Outdated in this context is if the activation takes more than 3 hours.
That much was obvious, thank you.
thank you!
You're welcome.
But that isn’t what causes the "Bad Request" response when clicking the link.
Could it be that this was outdated? Does this also happen for a second re-activation attempt?
I'll...
This is definitely not intentional, solving the issue that activation mails are marked as spam would be important here.
Of course this is not intentional. I would never imply, or even just...
If there is a connection with my issue #191, then it must be the Outlook server. I was waiting for an activation email which the server had unilaterally flagged as spam. But even when I reversed...
These requirements should definitely be dropped.
Well, I'll agree that:
Password does not pass complexity requirements:
At least one special character (punctuation, brackets, quotes, etc.) At least one lowercase character At least one uppercase character At least one digit
is a little simplistic. The principle is alright, but it would be a lot better if the above was part of a broader definition, like:
- must be at least 8 characters long
- should not contain any common words like the login name, email address, or the word "password"
- ... come up with some rules yourself to expand this...
However, one must also realize that the above only comes up if an already attempted password did not meet at least these minimum requirements, meaning that at least one of the four categories is not represented at all!
I mean, if nothing could be done about the above code-wise, it might be an idea to detect when people are trying to use a MocriSoft/Outlook based address, and then encourage them to change it, INCLUDING a warning that completing the registration following a link from those accounts will be al but impossible.
I think the password requirement is smart. Actually, all my passwords are between 16 and 24 chars long, and contain at least two distinctly different of each. I'm actually annoyed if I sign up somewhere where they trip over special chars, or can't handle more than eight characters. No, STEAM pisses me off with their weird practices. But let's not get off topic.
