    I posted a similar comment in the Password Reset section, and there is an additional one in the Signup section.

    Please lower the complexity of the password requirements. Stop trying to micromanage people's ability to log in.

    I just wrote a suggestion in the "Password Reset" section myself, not seeing this one here in sign up.

    I have easier passwords with much more important things in my life than Twitch. This level of complexity is insane. Let the users make their passwords. Don't try to micromanage a person's ability to log in. Not to mention the fail safes of security codes and email verifications that pop up too.

    My suggestion? Chill out on your password requirements.

    Currently, the requirements are ridiculously high and very finnicky. I typed a random password of "edited!" as a test of desperation after attempting for 15 minutes trying to decide, and it says the password is weak. I have an easier password with my bank account than I do with twitch.

    I typed a bunch of random passwords to test, and found that this just seemed sporadic and overly complicated. Here are another 2 that I typed in comedically --- "edited!" and "edited!" are both considered weak.

    I WORK IN TECH. This is ridiculous, and I wouldn't even want to log in to twitch if it wasn't for the fact I typed this up and I need to log in to complain about it.
