why did yahoo take away the use of symbols in passwords on yahoo id's making them easier to be hacked?

April 3rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

why would yahoo act interested in security and show a meter on page now to create a new id and even add codes we all have to use for games and make things harder on us and yet make them easier on hackers by not allowing us to use as hard of passwords anymore???

      It could be a programming reason. Special characters require unicode and numbers and letters only require ascii.
