Password length requirement
(feddit.org)
Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?
worst i've seen is 8 characters. precisely 8 characters, no more no less........ it was for a bank ....
A major US bank that I used to use has case insensitive passwords, found that out one day when I noticed caps lock was on after logging in with no trouble
Early 2000s internet banking was a trip.
i think this was about a year ago when they changed it....
Ha. I had the same thing, with a government-run student loan website
The fact that it was a power of 2 makes me suspect lazy coding. That bank didn't pay its programmers well enough.
maybe they store the entire password as a u64 and bitmask out each character
No no, not 8 characters, 8 numerical characters!
Whoa whoa whoa, did you use two of the same number in a row? Insecure!
Is that a sequence? No way, José!
I had to make a 10 character password for Santander
