not even mentioning websites that have something like a 20 character limit on passwords
One of the worst offenders I've seen was a bank I used to use. I think they limited to 16 characters and also got angry about a couple different special characters I tried to use. The problem beyond that? The form would let you submit any length and just silently chopped off characters 17+ or whatever. I had to reset my password several times to figure out what was going on. Pathetic...
I've seen this, wtf does this people have on their heads!?
