The big brain move is going to reset your password, getting told you can't use your current password when you type in a "new" one, then going back to the login screen to log in.

And have the password still not work.

Big brain move is going to reset your password, seeing what their obscure password requirements are, then remembering your password and going back to the login screen to log in.

I really wish sites with those stupid restricted complexity requirements would just say what they are on the login screen.

"We only allow '&#@!()' because we don't understand password security, you're welcome."
