The Special Character Password Problem
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH MY ACCOUNT? OH NO. NO NO, I IT'S A NORMAL PROBLEM THIS TIME. OKAY FINE. WHAT IS IT? I INCLUDED A NULL STRING TERMINATOR AS PART OF MY PASSWORD, AND NOW I CAN'T- HELP?! THEY SAID TO USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS!
A stick-figure office comic shows a person asking for help with an account password. The password includes a null string terminator, causing a technical problem, while the user misunderstands advice to use special characters. It is a programming joke about control characters and password requirements, shared as a reaction to overly literal technical misunderstandings.
