Office of Password Requirements: a free password rules game
One uppercase, one emoji, one ancient rune, one tear. Make it pass.
What is Office of Password Requirements?
Build a password from tiles while the rules pile up: an uppercase letter, an emoji, an ancient rune, a tear, digits that add up. A new rule appears each time all the old ones pass, and fixing one can break another.
Office of Password Requirements is a free satire game: one uppercase letter, one emoji, one ancient rune, one tear. Each time every rule so far is met, a new one appears.
Tap tiles or type to build the password, and watch the checklist: a fix for one rule can break another, like a digit that spoils the sum.
