Which is a limitation from the mechanics of the mechanism used. Including such a restriction on an electronic PIN is stupid, but I've seen enough idiotic password policies that I don't doubt someone has done it. For example, my bank (at least 2 months ago, haven't tested recently) makes no distinction between case of letters, so 'aaa' = 'aAa' = 'AAA'.
- bfrydl 8y agoIt's considerably worse when you see bizarre password restrictions because they usually mean the password is stored in plaintext. For example, your bank definitely is doing that. Don't use that same password for anything else!
- mike00632 8y agoOver the phone with my bank and my cabal company I've had them ask me multiple times to confirm my PIN or give the answer to my security question. I'm shocked that they will store everything in plain text like that AND give a large number of their employees access to it.
