I'd rather staple my forehead to a telephone pole before I ever think about using an emoji in a password. Those things are abominations!
Out of curiosity, what makes you say so?
Edit: Oh. Did a "Wooosh" happen to me right now? Are you being ironic and referring to the XKCD thing about how to make a secure password using words in phrases?
I think OP is conflating the use of emojis in passwords with the use of emojis by the general public.
Yes, it's annoying to read stuff like "Hi ๐๐๐๐ I am Bob โฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธโฅ๏ธ๐๐๐๐," but that doesn't mean that using them in passwords is a bad idea.
Or that "hi ๐ I'm Bob" doesn't express a (subtly) different meaning to "hi, I'm Bob"
I can agree with you. I'm curious what these reasons are, though?
Because they're a major pain to type, except for the most common ones?
