    Jokes aside, I have been blocked many times by overzealous email validation. Yes, my email has a plus sign in it. This is allowed under RFC5322, so deal with it. It is better to have no validation at all than incorrect validation.

    I hate when websites have some weird rules for passwords, and show the rule when you are creating the password, but not when entering it. How am I supposed to remember the password must begin and end with a special character?

        maybe they were looking for extra special characters like 🁄 or ⶸ. Who am I kidding, RFC 1738 tells us that literally everything is unsafe and you know, we need to prepare for the inevitable occasion when the password somehow ends up inside an URL.

        The characters “<” and “>” are unsafe because they are used as the delimiters around URLs in free text;
        the quote mark (“”") is used to delimit URLs in some systems.
        The character “#” is unsafe
        The character “%” is unsafe

        It ends up with

        Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters
        $ - _ . + ! * ’ ( ) ,
        are safe
