Their webapp let me create a username named "jsearls", but then the login failed because authentication isn't allowed if your username doesn't have a number.

So I had to spend 20 minutes on the phone to reset my entire account so I could ultimately set my username to "searls1". Cool!

@searls sounds like a bank I would switch away from. Acknowledging that there can be confounding factors

@searls I've been fixing an inherited app which did a disturbing amount of username and password validation on the client side - which had been done by a separate team from the backend. Total mess. PW stored in MD5 after all that too FML

@searls hah, my 401k provider provides a random string as your username. It’s password strength with mixed case and everything.

@searls don‘t blame the bank when it is clearly lack of foresight. Should have changed your name to Just1n or Ju5tin a long time ago.

@searls okay but did you know that if you type the password to that account on Mastodon, it’ll automatically substitute it with *****? Really cool feature, you can try it here
