Password Policy Requires Emoji Entropy

Description

A minimalist account creation form shows the heading "Create account" with fields labeled "Username" and "Password." The username field contains "De_Wouter," the password field is filled with hidden bullet characters, and a large red validation error says "Password must contain at least 1 emoji." A "Sign up" action appears at the lower right. The joke targets arbitrary password-complexity policies and UX-hostile validation rules that look like security but often just optimize for user frustration and weird credential patterns.
