gollark: I kind of want to make a random password constraint generator.
gollark: *your password must be between 8 and 4003 characters in length, the length must be a prime number not ending in 7, and it must contain one or nine Egyptian hieroglyphs, at least one valid SQL command, the tears of a unicorn, and a proof or disproof of P = NP*
gollark: What about ~~foolish~~ places which limit password length to 0.5KB?
gollark: hunter2, hunter3, hunter4...
gollark: hunter2 is a much more secure password anyway.
