That's why I no longer login to my FB account.

I can't figure it out right now because I have a lot of catch-up reading to
do, but I'll get to it later on.  I actually had to use 12345 as a pw to
login to the water dept about 8 years ago and when there was someone there
to answer the phone that morning with the knowledge to make things right, I
asked how come their system wouldn't accept alpha-numeric characters.  They
couldn't explain it, but I was given a temp pw which I logged into later
and changed to what I wanted.
