Their password for account creation doesn't require anything special. No special characters, no capitals, no blood of a virgin, no bark of a tree.
It's just one simple password that can easily be created. Thank you for not changing this rito. I don't have to figure out what my password is everytime I login.
XKCD made a rather good comic on this https://xkcd.com/936/
Basically, having a short password (8 characters) with a bunch of random stuff in them does add entropy, but five completely random words out of the dictionary (with about 25 characters or more) is an extremely difficult password to crack, and also much easier to remember. (Correcthorsebatterystaple anyone?)
It's actually bad, because:
Password on account creation is less secure than on password change, since when they got hacked they updated "on password change" but not "on account creation." So if I want an actual long password, I have to create an account with a dummy password then change it after it's created, since account creation won't let me use a long password.
League has had their database hacked in the past. So enjoy getting rekt.
Yeah. One of the most secure password methods remains diceware- special characters add entropy, but they make the password so much harder to remember compared to that value it's really not worth it unless you have a password manager.
While I understand why it's annoying and I know the responsibility of this is upon the user, you do realize should anyone get interested in getting into your account, the more ordinary the password is the easier it is to generate possible passwords? Every special character and every extra character increases the time of execution of such algorith drastically and makes it closer to the state of unreasonable time.
no blood of a virgin
There is a LoL site? interesting. Ever since they added their shitty landing page. I had forgotten that it ever existed
I actually had a hard time getting them to accept a password.
I believe they needed one number, one symbol, and one capital letter.
So many times i forgot my passwords on alot of sites cause they were something like PasswordD123~!?
