When trying to sign up using a simple password, I received the following error:
“User password password has too many repeated characters. Please use a more secure password.”
Here are two suggestions for improving this message:
Modify the error message to make it clearer. For example, instead of “User password password,” use something more specific like:
“Your password is too simple. Please use a more secure password with fewer repeated characters.”
Provide an example of a secure password format. For instance:
If I attempt to use a password like “e192121e,” the system could suggest avoiding multiple repeated characters and highlight password strength tips. It was saying it seems good before I tap sign-up button.
Regarding the management of the service: If the website uses Firebase, the error handling itself works well, but the messaging could use some improvements. Currently, there’s duplication in the error text, like: “User password password has too many repeated characters.”
Additionally, there’s some inconsistency between the password field’s feedback and the sign-up request. The text field might indicate that my password is acceptable, but when I submit the sign-up request, it returns an error saying to “avoid multiple repeated characters.”
I realize this isn’t a major issue, but as the channel name suggests, this is just some friendly feedback!
Discourse probably uses PostgreSQL as indicated in the Discourse Github
As for the error handling, it’s most likely a label that can be changed.
The forum being very new, things will change, but not sure that this is the top priority for now on the forum.
