"Your password should not contain non-alphanumeric characters", really? Why ever not HMV, too secure for you? Unbelievable!

You'd think they would be in favour of good security for their customers wouldn't you.


Happy new year to you the-lhc.

Well yes, given that most sites suggest you use those characters to strengthen your password security! Weird...

Happy new year to you the-lhc.



It is so far, yes! All the best to you as well.

Hmv never have seemed to have got the hang of the internet thing, remember the webite was originally hmv.co.uk (think that was right from memory) then at the end it did not appear to work right - at least not for me when buying things.  They then changed it too hmv.com, this one has been working fine but still..

Re: Security isn't a dirty word HMV.com

This might shed some light on HMV's decision:

It might, but it still contravenes house rules - MODS

Admittedly non-alpha and non-ASCII are not the same, but maybe they don't know that!
