Fing website password rules unclear

Wilm · October 13

I try to change my Fing account password, using the rules. My password has the form Aaaaaaa0000*, with different characters in each position. It appears to conform to the rules, but is not accepted. What am I doing wrong?

@Wilm, I modified your title to reflect Fing instead of Find. @Ciaran or @Robin, can you comment on this password requirements question? Thanks!

Maybe the asterisk is the problem?

Wilm · October 13

Well, according to the rules, no restriction on which special character. I tried a few... same result.

Thanks for support @Marc
@Wilm
Previously Tested, It will not allow the following special characters in the password: #$&%^()?><. (the only ones which are working are: *-_ .)
Can you try to create a new password with this and see if it helps?

I used Cccccccc0000*, where each C/c is a different character, and each 0 is a different digit, with an asterisk at the end. No dice. Changing the asterisk to ) did not work either.
These are the specific rules:
"The password must be at least 6 characters long, and must contain a digit, a lowercase, an uppercase character and a special character"
How much more should I test?

And my current password has the form 0000ccCC!!, where each C/c is a different character, and each 0 is a different digit, and it ends with two exclamation marks, that are not in either of your lists :-(

Thanks for testing @Wilm
I will seek further advice on this one and will get back to you with an update.
