Hi Martin, Why a minimum of 12 characters in the MSE password?
No other site asks for this, and it is frustrating when a website sets its own rules which differ to other sites. Your '12 character' rule can't be for security, as you do not insist on numbers or special characters, so it seems a bit pointless. Also, I don't see the need for this to be as secure as, say, my banking app. It makes little apparent sense.
