Edit: @Successful_Try543@feddit.org solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

It says one special character, not at least one. Maybe the password has more than one.

Holy shit!! You did it. I would never expect a banking password to max special characters. I have been scratching my head with Bitwarden and this shitty app for an hour.

But wouldn't that mean the bottom checkbox should be cleared and the 2nd one should be checked?

Still doesn't make sense.

[-] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 23 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's true. The UI does not accurately represent the validation conditions.

[-] Panda@programming.dev 10 points 2 months ago

Yes, the 2nd one implies that there should be more than one.

And the wording is fucking terrible as well

i have to wonder if banks actively don't want us to use them

[-] tooLikeTheNope@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah but It still states "A combination of letters, digits and special charaters"

It should then be spelled as "A combination of letters digits, and one special character"

It's like a Captcha that only lets in autistic people.

You solved the puzzle! here is a cookie for you :D 🍪

I love how the acceptance/rejection status is messed up.

If it's only one special character, then that should be unchecked not check, and the combination of "letters, numbers and special characters" should be check marked.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Good catch.

Also psh, there’s no verb, suggesting the password should be exactly one special character and nothing else.
