Seems like they don't consider a period to be a "special character"

That’s not the issue here as the special character check passes. It’s the validation between the two fields that’s broken.

Most probably not broken at all.

I.hate.password.
l.hate.password.

The first is a capital i, the second is a lower case L.

I noticed as well. I tested for it by zooming in and seeing if their tops align with the top of the h. Capital I is shorter than lower case L

OP here, reading all the comments and theories as to why the I or L or whatever isn't a match. I copy and pasted it after it didn't like my typing skills, tried it twice and no go... I believe the periods aren't an acceptable special character even though they technically are. It also would not accept spaces in-between words, I was first gonna use "I hate password" for my password but no go there.

The password it accepted was weak AF, two "stupid-words" strung together.

No, one is an uppercase β€œI” while the other is a lowercase β€œL.” lI β€” you can see the difference when you compare it to the nearby β€œh.”

Ah, so OP was up to shenanigans??? I should have suspected as much from that mischievous miscreant!!!
