If a website requires so few characters that I have to create custom rule in my password manager for it... then it's a website I'm strongly inclined not to use.
Sadly, a lot of these websites deal with finances or employment.
Paypal lol. Literally my most insecure password
you know what's funny. in paypal you are not even allowed to make a secure password. they have a short character limit.
Yesss my shortest Password. Fuck Paypal I only have it for weird stuff and that Indian Developer that still maintains LineageOS Android 14 for my Nokia phone
