We’ve all been there.

The worst one is when it only supports up to like 16 characters but doesn’t tell you so it will only use the first 16 characters and ignore the rest. The next time you need to enter it and get the 64 character password from your password manager it will just say it incorrect and you’re left with no idea on why it’s wrong.

Holy shit you might have just explained why I have to reset my password every time for a local fast food joints own website

This was me on a bank’s site till I clued in that I need to shorten my password.

This has happened to me so many times. Frustrating and stupid being belief. Are they hiring 10 year olds to write the html/script? Sheesh.

I can do you one worse.

My banking app password was not case sensitive for many, many years. They finally fixed it a few years back though!
