Got this site once stating "passwords can't contain parts of username" icw a 64 character pw.

And usenames like "daneelolivaw" block passwords with

da an ne ee el...

dan ane nee eel ...

dane anee neel.... etc in them

If I was a bad guy and saw this, I would look for users with many different charaters in long names and brute force them, because there's a high chance they just removed all characters in their names from the pool to generate a password, making it faster to go through the leftover combinations.

That's absolutely understandable, since rdaneelolivaw would be the correct username.

That's what my friend Giskard said. 😁
