@stilkov For your own data protection the password needs to have at least 6 characters, also including 1 capital letter and 2 numbers. HL

@stilkov @germanwings Well, it would, if you chose far more than 6 characters. blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2012/…

@tomingerson @germanwings Does not follow, excluding them doesn’t improve safety. And of course my passwords are generated.

@stilkov @germanwings The bad part is not excluding special characters, but at the same time allowing only 6 characters, imho.

@tomingerson @germanwings It’s “at least 6”, so that’s OK
