Canada as a password is a bit too obvious . . .

By Terence Huynh on December 28th, 2009

too-obvious

Ever wondered what happens if you type in “firebird” or “iloveyou” or even “vagina” as a password in Twitter when you created a new account? Well, your answer is now that they are “too obvious” to be your password and will refuse to register your account until you make it complex enough that you can remember.

How do we know? They have coded in their sign up page, and we do mean every word and number used. So “asdfgh” and “ferrari” are now banned, along with a couple of names and several instances of the letter X (though you can get away with it if you used it seven times, but not eight). To find it, just view the source code. HINT: Search for “twttr.BANNED_PASSWORDS”.

If you can’t be stuffed, we have posted the entire thing for you, after the jump.
