But some of them don’t tell you that when you first set it, so you have to call tech support and, after sending you a temporary password to log in and set a new password which then also doesn’t work, they’re like “wait, you can’t have & or ! in the password — try it without,” and it works because it accepted the password but removed all special characters without telling you 🙃
Your bank lets you use letters? Mine just numbers. The registration allowed 10 numbers but the login does not allowed more than 8… At least they block the account after 3 incorrect guess and make you ask for a reset in person. So I had to go twice in a day… and the teller lady asked why I don’t use 4 digits like a normal person… Sill beter than the other bank which sends the password back in plain text email after registration in 2019

My bank allows alphanumeric passwords, but only 5 characters
I sometimes wonder how their opsec specialists cope…
