Following on from that, NIST guidelines recommend:
โ DON'T enforce complexity (upper, lower, numbers, special chars)
โ
Instead, DO require 8 chars minimum, and up to 64 at least
โ
Also, allow _any_ characters (space, apostrophe, etc.)
โ DON'T force users to change passwords regularly; then they just add incrementing numbers at the end and it doesn't help security
โ
But DO block passwords/patterns (qwerty, asdfasdf, etc.)

If you frequently switch between security levels in Tor Browser (or Mullvad Browser!), make sure you are fully restarting the browser every time, otherwise you could still unexpectedly have dangerous JS features enabled!
This requirement is not publicly documented anywhere. Hopefully @torproject will add a prompt to restart after modifying this setting in a future Tor Browser release.

This person has faked "evidence" to support a ridiculous claim about Liblast (which is verifiably false).
The person has also created fake issue tickets and tried to pull developer's attention to a supposed vulnerability (which makes no sense either and had no substance provided).
