Password length requirement
(feddit.org)
Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?
This one time I got this catch22 situation with a service.. Turned out password reset in the Android app accepted 32 characters but in the browser less.
Happened to me a couple days ago when resetting a password for Paypal. The browser limit was 20 characters for the 2nd password box but had a higher limit for the first password box.
Though, it appears they recently modified the form to pop up with an "Enter a shorter password" message. With that being said, PayPal has apparently always had shitty password policies.
