> For anyone else struggling with how to make the country name work with roman numerals or element names, you can lowercase the country name then it doesn't count as a roman numeral nor element.

Unfortunately, "country name" and "all the vowels in your password must be bold" are fundamentally incompatible, since it doesn't recognize country names unless they have unbolded vowels.

EDIT: Gah. I tried every Unicode "bold" variant I found, before finding that the password field had in fact become a rich text field and allowed actual "bold".



I had no problems getting 'canada' recognized with the a's bolded.


Rich text passwords, an amazing innovation.
