My banks password system is terrible. It must be between 6-8 characters long, and no special characters allowed. When I originally created my password, I didn't read the rules and typed one of my "usual" ones in. It consisted of a dictionary word, followed by a series of numbers and special characters.
Because of their inferior UI, I never noticed my password was getting truncated at 8 characters long, which just so happens to be the length of the dictionary word. For almost 4 years my banks password was an eight character dictionary word instead of the 'slightly more secure' 14 character version I thought I was using all along.
