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 got this from a bank. A BANK. Not only was it limited to 12 characters. THEY ALSO LIMITED THE SPECIAL CHARACTER SET.
I complained and was told, oh that's why we have the security number for (a unchanging six digit code), and I'm like, that's basically 1 password with 18 character limit and 6 of the characters are definitely numbers.
Not only that, 2FA is not available for logon, it just says "to authenticate certain types of Internet and Mobile Banking transactions".
I couldn't believe it. Surprise, surprise, there are no minimum password security regulations in Australia...
