"Password is already taken by user123"

That's number 1 in how to tell the organisation has really bad password management

Number 2 is getting an email:

Welcome to shittyTech

Your account is successfully created with name "psud", password "T<©"9_Pt#sbw«:r_R }$° Z-"

*Edited to have a password like a sensible modern user would let their password manager set, instead of the XKCD one

I don't minde the email when it continues with "please change the password when you first log in"

"Thank you for changing the password

Your new password is: xxxxx"

[–] Serinus 2 points 1 year ago

When it makes you change the password on login. Asking the user politely is not enough.
