Better Password Security for Studios

Allowing our users to enter 1234 as their password makes the whole studio experience feel insecure.

Can we make it mandatory and request basic password security with at least 8 characters, one uppercase and one lowercase letter, number, and symbol?

thanks

@casteleiro good suggestion. You might want to add this in the feature requests so people can vote for the implementation.

Modified to a feature request. Good one too! I think that would not be so hard.

Do you actually believe that you have users using simple passwords and then negatively judging the security of the tool?

I wonder if offering one of those secure connections through e-mail that doesn’t use a password is actually the better solution in some cases. Like either the user is making an easy password because they are completely naive or they want something to remember and aren’t concerned about the inherent vulnerabilities.

User ease is an excellent point to be considered. Many users may want the ease of “password” as their password and not care about the security.

But perhaps more secure connections is the best idea. We’ve added Google as a sign-in/sign-up method, though it necessarily has to say ‘pickaxe’ on it right now. Stripe has been courting us lately to use their Link method as a universal sign-on method as well. We may add that. Our designer Ian has often mentioned Twitter/X as a sign-in method.

Users, no. But developers from the competition yes, and none of us want to give them a chance to make and publish a video showing how insecure pickaxe is, right?

thanks

Email always must be an option.
Adding Google is a great idea, the Stripe one I haven’t seen anywhere, and about Twitter, a bunch of people is migrating now from X to Bluesky, it seems there’s an extension now called Sky Follower Bridge that allows to follow your followers in BLuesky…
