Register to the mean network

The mean network is a free service that lets you control and recieve insights from your mean application.

prompt: name:  ****
prompt: username:  ****
prompt: email:  ********
prompt: password:  
error:   Invalid input for password
error:   Password must be only letters, spaces, or dashes 8-15 characters long

15 character password doesn't allow me to use pass phrases (see https://xkcd.com/936/)

Thanks, We'll take care of this - you are perfectly right.

Why is this designed to be insecure? Only 15 characters and no special characters seems an unnecessary restriction. I use lastpass and by default have 24 character passwords with the top shelf option !"£$%^&*():@~<>?,./;'#
