@dumbpasswordrules This is from the documentation for Danfoss AK-SM 800A Firmware 5.4.0. You know, the ones with the overheating fridges?
Try and enumerate which special characters _ARE_ actually allowable. It's only *$§@, as far as I can tell. I wonder if they allow emoji in passwords.

@scy It is though, #167. Codepage based, yeah, but I think everything until 255 is still ASCII?
@christopherkunz No, ASCII only goes from 0 to 127. Everything else is (these days) Unicode or (back in the day) 8-bit "codepages" that aren't recommended for passwords since a machine with different regional settings may display them differently.
As I said, non-US characters like ñ, ä, ç etc. are not ASCII either, and it wildly depends on the implementation whether these count as "letter", "special character", or are outright rejected.
@christopherkunz § isn't an ASCII character though, which probably puts it in the same category as ñ or emoji.
