A bit disappointed that Mozilla’s Pocket acquisition doesn’t seem to have resulted in much other than bundling it into the browser. Still closed, still a centralised silo. Currently looking at Wallabag and PressForward in WordPress as alternatives.

So I’m creating a password for a gov.uk account. I’m not allowed to have any special characters in my password, letters and numbers only. Adding a special character fails validation and tells me that my password is not secure.

gov.uk is usually regarded as excellent on UX, so what’s the deal here? Is there some logic to it?
