Sampath Bank mocked for overly complicated password rules
Original: This dumb password rule is from Sampath Bank. So many rules! https:// dumbpasswordrules.com/sites/sa mpath-bank/ # passw
Sri Lanka's Sampath Bank is being criticised online for imposing an excessive set of password requirements on its customers. The rules are catalogued on a site that collects restrictive or arbitrary password policies, and security-minded users are sharing the example as evidence that convoluted rules can frustrate customers without improving security.
Why now: Security practitioners enjoy highlighting banks whose password policies are needlessly complex, and Sampath Bank's list is a fresh example.
