It's not difficult to find them
- meowface 7y agoI'm just saying a company like Paypal which is both massive and dealing with something extremely sensitive (money) isn't going to make such a ridiculous mistake. I'm definitely no fan of theirs; I'm just saying it's silly for the initial poster to speculate the password length restriction is there because they're storing them in plaintext. Plaintext password storage definitely still is common, unfortunately, but you're not going to see it at a place like Paypal or Bank of America or Stripe in 2020. Or even 2010.
