Sounds so insane I guess it must have really happened.
I had similar issue with paypal once. Their bank account number field expected to get N digits without spaces, so it was hard limited to N characters. Of course they didn't bother telling about that. When I pasted my number with some K space separators tossed between digits, the last K digits have been silently truncated. Boom, account locked.

I had to reset my password a few times before I figured that one out. For those that haven't used this it's an extra password protected step that comes up sometimes when purchasing things with your card.
- Someone 11y agoHappened to me this week. "Luckily", they also implemented the "feature" where they can send you your password by email directly after you set it, so when I couldn't get in with the password I set, I reset the password, got a mail with a new password, logged in, changed the password to a new random long string, and this timeasked them to send the password to me. The password they sent was chopped off. That told me their limit, so I could set my password a third time to get something maximally secure.
- smoothgrips 11y agoSo, they emailed your password to you? Plaintext? They store passwords in plaintext? Paypal?
