Perhaps a video clip then?

I received a phone video clip once in a bug report that was actually useful. It showed the sequence of actions in a way that a great steaming pile of trace information couldn't portray.

I've noticed with several sites I have an account with that they no longer allow special characters in passwords. That seems like a move in the wrong direction. Special characters allow passwords to be more complex so I wonder why some are making this change.
Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes and I can't understand why - ASCII is ASCII is ASCII after all - and I hate it as elephant.

Sorry, I have written poorly: I mean that an ASCII character is equal to any other ASCII character for the purposes of both internationality and cryptography. Why A-Z is ok and $ is not?
I hate the sites that disallow "special" characters because they weaken security for... what, exactly?

That could be it. Still a dumb thing to do, in my opinion.

Typing passwords on mobile devices is the worst!
That's one of the big reasons I created C'Ya Pass so you never have to type a password again.
You can get the free Android version right now.
This really isn't spam. It's totally related. You can read my articles here where I formulated this new idea of generating passwords that are SHA256 hashes (probably as unhackable as a password could ever be).
You can also get the windows version of C'Ya Pass at my site: C'YaPass: F*orget All Your Passwords | Never Memorize A Password Again <br/> Never Type A Password Again <br/> Never Make Up A Password Again[^]
I'm really not trying to be spammy. You can read all about technology behind this here at CP in my articles.

I just want Android to include a general, always available, "see password" option. Mine are nearly all English sentences or phrases, so it's more typing on a wee tiny touch screen and lots of chance of mistakes.

Yeah, it's really difficult. You could type your password in a Note app copy and paste into the target I guess?
Thank goodness paste still works in password fields (most).

Not a reason to remove them, just a reason to not make them mandatory.
