Let me start by saying that Emoji Passwords are probably a really daft idea.
I want to use emoji in my passwords. They're easy to type on a mobile keyboard, easy to remember, and a lot more fun than boring ASCII characters.
Let's go with ✅🐎🔋📎
(As close as possible to Correct Horse Battery Staple)
I use BitWarden as my password manager. It saves emoji passwords into its database, but has trouble displaying them:
Android
Browser Plugin
Linux App
Bug Report
I've raised this (minor) bug on GitHub. I wonder which other password managers also struggle with the more "exotic" parts of Unicode?
Mastodon
Twitter
Facebook
LinkedIn
Reddit
HackerNews
Lobsters
Pocket
WhatsApp
Telegram
This is really interesting! Interested in the outcome from the bug report will be tbh.
This reminds me of a trend a couple of years ago when startups would put emojis as their favicon image and have the page refresh continuously so it mimicked the sunsetting or something weird.
Worked fine with 1Password - in browser, in extension and on Android 😀
I kind of want to use emojis in website passwords now...
Pleased to say this little emoji password bug is now fixed on desktop and web. Still awaiting a fix for Android.
