hasu23186yI raise you my bank. Limited to 5 chars for some reason and also only letters and numbers.

My previous Bank: 4 Numbers. At least every transaction was secured by TAN, requiring the correct generator and Bankcard. But I always considered my account balance to be public knowledge.

Don't forget that not long ago there was only the 4 digit PIN. 16 characters is already a great advancement.

My brother once made the discovery that a website cuts the password off at 8 chars, but doesn't tell the user about it.

Fradow9086yI raise you mine : a 6 digit code, but "it's secure because we use a custom widget where numbers are images and are moved around, so keyloggers can't access it".
Meanwhile, my Blizzard account has been secured with 2 factor for at least 10 years.
Great to know that my games are safer than my bank account.

Today, this made me think: My bank limits the password I can choose to 16 chars, and only letters and numbers are allowed, no special chars. Meanwhile on Typeracer.com I was able to use 60 character password, including numbers, letters and special chars.
