This aggravates me beyond belief. I have more secure passwords on random sites/accounts than I do on my financial accounts. Why do banks insist on restricting character limits to 12 - 20 characters?
- outworlder 7y ago> Why do banks insist on restricting character limits to 12 - 20 characters? Because they are not hashing your password, therefore it needs to fit in plain text in their database column.
- citiworse 7y agoCitibank is even worse. I use a password manager and have used a 20+ character password for years. Every now and then, as happened a few months ago, they change the website in a way that breaks long passwords. So even though my password manager entered it correctly, it rejected my password until I had to reset it.
