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?
I used to have to use a government-run website that required passwords to be exactly 8 characters
How about a bank app that requires 6 numbers password (not the app PIN, but the user account's password).
A lot of older systems I worked on had password requirement of exactly 7 characters, no special characters, no numbers and no upper case. Must have been interesting times in security when those systems were made.
