.@BritishGas You should rethink your password policy. Disallowing special characters and disabling pasting leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

@BritishGasHelp Disallowing pasting and therefore password managers is NOT a standard practice. It's unnecessary and dangerous.
@passy We'd lose our security certificate if we allowed pasting. It could leave us open to a "brute force" attack. Thanks ^Steve

@BritishGasHelp@arodham@passy poor Steve. No need for people to call him stupid though -
@drclairelucas@BritishGasHelp@arodham Indeed. It's unfortunate that these purely technical issues end up in ad hominem attacks.

@BritishGasHelp@passy I’ve met some of your frontend developers - smart guys, but you should fire whoever thinks this will loosen security.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo

@BritishGasHelp but you do know what attackers don’t know or care whether you “allow” pasting, right? This only reduces security of users.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo

@BritishGasHelp are you actually this stupid, or just repeating what someone very stupid told you? I assume you don’t personally set policy.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. Undo

@BritishGasHelp @Ineffyble_alt@passy sounds like a sysadmin who's not so bright and too stubborn for objectivity -
@kindleaire Bit pejorative. It isn't usually sysadmins who make these decisions. Often poor or poorly understood auditors.
-
@aderixon you're right. I've encountered one who blocked .zip downloads for "security" tho, was reminded of that. -
@kindleaire I'll allow there often seems to be quite a high wanker quotient in the field. :-)
