Hi everyone. I think it’s long due for password requirements to be more comprehensive. Many websites today require a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters/ uppercase letters.
We have Authenticator and email addresses, but I think the password itself is the most important piece. Simple to guess passwords should not be allowed - it creates too much security risk. Passwords should also be longer than the 6 character minimum on Jagex sites.
Carlyle Group employees have a much stricter password requirement. As a portfolio company within the broader tech space, Jagex should have a large priority on safety and security. On most fronts, Jagex has done a great job with security, but the password itself lacks any sophistication.
I last made a thread about this in 2020. The thread has since been locked, I'm not sure why. This issue is still not resolved. It doesn't take much to make this change. If Jagex can figure out the solution to expanding max cash beyond 2,147M, they can certainly enhance password requirements. It's the right thing to do.
Thanks
