A mere email... I had a situation with a bank when their website accepted new password but the backend implicitly and without feedback trimmed the new password to 10 characters.
- happymellon 3y agoHSBC had this problem. Not sure if it still does, but it's a big enough institution that I feel it deserves being called out.
- Macha 3y agoPermanent TSB in Ireland did the same until like 2020.
- jp191919 3y agoI had this problem with Transunion (a credit reporting agency in the US). They shortened my password to 15 characters, didn't tell me or anything, I had to figure it out myself when trying to login.
- bonton89 3y agoPaypal did this with 20 characters. I can't even remember how I figured it out so I could login. I don't know if it truncated it automatically or it just stopped accepting input after 20 characters and I of course did not notice since the password entry fields were masked.
- lucakiebel 3y agoTheir password reset form didn’t have the restriction, so you could reset your password to 21 chars, and then never log in again
- yukkuri 3y agoSame, on multiple sites. It is obnoxious as heck
