The best ones are pages where the register dialog only allows a max length, silently truncates it and then the login dialog allows every length. And then you start to search why the password you generated ten seconds ago doesn't work anymore. So much fun .. not.
- diggan 9y agoThis bothers me to no end. Generate a new password, everything seems fine. A week later when I want to login again, suddenly the password doesn't work. After resetting the password and changing it again, I notice the little "max 12 characters length" message but it doesn't warn you, just silently truncates. So nowadays, when I change my passwords, I have to make sure I don't hit the length limit, and after changing the password, confirm that it really changed to what I want to. In the few cases where it doesn't, I need to go through the entire dance to reset my password again...
