Lenovo website.
I tried setting a password (generated using 1password) based on the specification. The password definitely has uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, but the website validator wouldn't let me proceed.
After feeling frustrated, trying for more than 10 minutes, and also involving my husband to try it, we finally figured out the problem.
Before I reveal the solution, does anyone wanna guess why the form validator didn't work?

I’ve run into similar because it doesn’t catch the last character when 1Password pastes in. But I don’t think it’s that in this case.
Unless the special character wasn’t in the acceptable list, I have no idea.
@d Aha! So, somehow the validator for "special characters" only works if I directly type on the textbox, not on copy paste, but the form validator for character length works with copy paste.
In this case, after pasting the password from 1password, if I type a space and delete it, it now validates 😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
