So is there any way to suppress the pop-up warning about passwords? I've long had a dispute with LJ regarding their 'security' system. The dictionary they bought is faulty as hell. My previous password was relatively insecure and didn't follow several of the basic password security rules, yet was deemed okay by LJ. My more recent password follows almost all of the secure rules, yet they deem it insecure on a basis that is just ridiculous. (Their dictionary claims it's based on a dictionary word...all I can say is, the word in my previous pass is a COMMON slang term, and the word in my new one is thoroughly uncommon and nothing ever used in common speech.) In the past, I've known passwords of several girlfriends and now my wife...again, theirs are less secure than mine, yet get no flags. It's abundantly clear that their security measures are flawed at best, not even getting into the argument that this is an LJ, not a financial account that requires bullet-proof security

I agree. My password is a combination of words... and they all aren't even spelled right! The prompt may be coming from LJ (because their dictionary obviously contains all variations and incorrect spellings for every word and combinations of words imaginable) and the pop-up is totally pissing me off.
>> The prompt may be coming from LJ the promp is coming from LJ! they recently updated their password security. Take a look at support, it's exploding with request about this warning! It's insane!
Jesus Tapdancing Christ... It's just totally assinine.
I broke down and decided to go ahead and change my pw to something else in order to kill the prompt, but now LJ is telling me that the new pass MUST have a number in it. CRAZY!! This is NOT a banking site for goodness sakes.
I think I'm going to go contact support on this too. crazy
>>I think I'm going to go contact support on this too what for? they are not gonna change it and you'll just get the standard answere: we're sorry you're frustrated BUT...
anyone know who to contact to complain about this password issue? basically they are saying we cannot use ANY real word. so that leaves us with next to nothing to work with. i want to nix that namn message and just change my PW but from what i read here it's gonna be damn near impossible to come up with one that suits them. so yeah anyone know what we can do. this is ridiculous!
man. it's like "lets give everyone such a hard time creating "secure" passwords...that they have to result to alternate alphanumerical spellings of their user names that are less secure"
i dont know about you, but im a paid user and i would think that they'd treat paid users with a little more respect, or atleast fix the damn security system they have running the thing. serious. they messed up bad this time.
do you if/when the time will come that we will HAVE to change the password?

My password used to consist of just letters, so I upgraded to letters and numbers. It isn't English, or proper names of any kind, they're in another language, and an arcane version of the language at that-- plus numbers! It's eight frickin digits long! I don't understand, what do they want?

I put in a complaint in the support center, but they basically said "Tough s**t. Change your password."
