Password security

To ensure the security of your account and stories, Shorthand has some strict password requirements, including that all passwords must:

  • be at least 8 characters long,

  • not be a word in the dictionary (such as 'storyteller'),

  • not be repeated characters (such as '111111111'), and

  • not appear in a list of compromised passwords from known data breaches.

The list of compromised passwords we use is from https://haveibeenpwned.com/.

Please note: the compromised passwords are from various third-party services and not from Shorthand.
