    … can you do zalgo text / diacritic fuckery with a password?

    Does your enterprise auth system and database support correctly storing zalgo text, lol?

    Either that or my password just is an escaped SQL injection string.

    Didn’t say who had to be the one with the tragic backstory.

      The database shouldn’t have any issues, since it will be getting a salted hash (one would hope). Usually there are safeguards on the auth system blocking that kind of stuff so that people don’t create passwords they can’t type. However, it would be technically feasible to allow those characters in a password.

        Yes, one would hope, lol.

        I’ve been in charge of my own db and auth systems.

        I had to turn the previous uh, ‘hope’, into code.

        For a pretty large organization, hahahaha!
