    My favorite, though, is:

    types in password “Password incorrect” goes to reset password “please enter a new password” types in password “your new password cannot be the same”

        Sometimes it means the page checking the password is following a different ruleset eg. the main page is case sensitive and the change password page isn’t. Sometimes it’s stuff like the entered password is silently truncated to a fixed number of characters and because of that won’t let you log in. Sometimes it’s wierd character expansions being passed directly to the password checking routine (& or similar).
