- adrr 10y agoAmex website had their max password length of 8 characters. Not sure if they changed it. Even if you do have a system constraint, you could just lop off the extra characters and the user wouldn't probably never notice.

- USANEEDSHELP 10y agoThey do this because it makes it easier for the 3 letter US agency to guess the password.
- yeukhon 10y agoOr they say cannot accept repeating characters. Like "2j4lwroiw4lkf9wwjsofserow111" is still bad because of 111.
