Can anybody explain why the password rules are so weak on our Virgin Media accounts and email?
At the moment the rule is A letter at the beginning maximum of 10 alpha numeric characters lower or upper case. Why are no special characters and longer than 10 alpha numeric passqwords allowed.
Kind Regards
Lee

That a poor excuse as VM has had all the providers merge for at least 8 years.
Like I said the password is not only for email, but also for your managed account for your contract. It seems to VM is too lazy to tighten up their security.

VM will speak for themselves. I gave you my understanding of the position. Read my signature - I do not work for Virgin Media. Don't attribute motives to me about what VM does or doesn't do over password security. But the question you raise arises quite often and Vm always give the same reply. No change for the foreseeable future.

Howard i was not directing it at you. I am saying VM are very lazy with security.
If they suddenly have a data breach where customer's Direct Debit details get stolen it will cost VM upto 4% of all revenue in fines.
