The FTC wants to make it easier to cancel subscriptions just as streamer cancellations are peaking — read how Disney, Netflix, and more are pushing back in c/[email protected]

I don't think it's just streaming services. FTC quotes gym memberships as an example as well, and they're notorious for bad cancellation policies.

Is it possible to safely check for certain characters in a password? in c/[email protected]

Good question. A lot of banks in Europe use this type of setup, where it will ask you for 3-4 characters of your pin/password, both to login and to confirm transactions. I always thought it was weird but never thought about the security implications.
