Guess what! If your financial service restricts your password to letters and numbers, it's most likely because they want you to be able to enter your password on the phone.
So the passwords 'abc' 'ABC' and '222' are treated as equivalent. Try it out for fun!

- ktta 9y agoWhat banks do this? AFAIK, Wells Fargo doesn't care about case-sensitivity but that's it.

- ozim 9y agoI don't want to enter my password on the phone, I have fingerprint or pin in mobile banking app.
- Frank2312 9y agoHe meant over the phone, not on a phone. Ex : I call my bank and I have to go through a menu leading me to the right agent. Eventually, it asks for my password over the phone that I need to type using the 10 numbers on a phone dial. Good luck using your fingerprint there :)
- ozim 9y agoFor that i have separate numeric only password in my bank which is different than my web login password. So bank is saving couple of bucks to reuse same weak password that can be stolen on web and then used by attacker to authenticate as me over the phone. What a crappy bank. I am just happy that bank that I use is having all set better.
