NIST SP 800-63B: Verifiers and CSPs SHOULD accept Unicode [ISO/ISC 10646] characters in passwords. Each Unicode code point SHALL be counted as a single character when evaluating password length.Time to say goodbye to the old classics: 12345678 and asdfghjkl. Say hello to the new classics: いろはにほへと, ㄅㄆㄇㄈㄉㄊㄋㄌ, and 王旁青头戋五一. LMAO.
@niconiconi STOP DOING COMPUTER SCIENCE
* STRINGS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ENCODING
* DECADES OF COMPUTER SCIENCE and they STILL CAN’T AGREE on what a STRING even IS
* strlen("🏳️⚧️") returns 1, 5, 6 or 16 depending on which PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE you ask
Statements dreamed up by the utterly DERANGED:
“Actually, it’s ONE grapheme cluster consisting of FIVE Unicode code points represented by SIX UTF-16 code units or SIXTEEN UTF-8 bytes”
They have played us for ABSOLUTE FOOLS.
