Ah another round of 'guess the password policy'!. Try a password. No, it needs a capital letter. Next try, No, it must also have a symbol.

I moved on after that. If this is the UX of setting up a password, I'm not up for the rest.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the inconvenience!

The sign-up page actually does include the password requirements: "The password must be at least 8 characters long and include upper and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols."

In sum: * 8 chars long minimum * include all of these: upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols

I do realize that such a combination of characters is somewhat hard to remember compared to simpler passwords. I'll consider options to simplify all this.

I appreciate your feedback.

I keep getting an error with the username and finally inspected the validator. I think you could be applying your pwd validation to the username field but I could be wrong, anyway I figured it out eventually.

I feel pretty dumb, sure enough it's right there. Pardon my error I glanced right past that. Positioning the text with the password field would likely help, and/or include all rules in the error message, not just the one that's violated.

No worries, your feedback is helpful!

I hope you have the chance to try it then :)
