- veritas3241 12y agoThis is absolutely the case with USAA. No warning whatsoever was given that they truncated my password which led to me being locked out when it autofilled from LastPass. I contacted them but all they've offered to do is "forward it to our security team".
- iamthepieman 12y agofor a long time one of my credit card companies truncated my password. I typed in something long and hopefully secure when i set my account up. Something like "NineteenBumblingElephantsOnP4r4d3". I didn't even notice it was truncated for a while because whenever i typed it in the form would just stop accepting characters after 8 or 10 which is what the original sign-up form had done so I was still entering the correct password but it was shortened to "Nineteen" Not a very secure password at all.
