It’s even worse when you have one that doesn’t tell you there is a max and just randomly truncates after a specific number of characters. I can’t remember which site did that to me recently. I had to reset my password like 4 times before I figured WTF was going on.
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCKKKKKK
It feels like something more from a decade or two ago then now, but my pet peeve was when websites would merge or link and now your suddenly too long password only works for some of the portals or cause various issues. Iirc correctly the hashes would be equivalent regardless of length making the maximum limitation/truncation even more infuriating.
I have that with a newspaper subscription. Password needs to be 16 characters or less, but it allows you to set it, it just doesn’t work. Every time I need to change it I forget about that and have a new randomly generated 20+ character password, only to once again become frustrated with not being able to log in. I want to strangle the idiot that came up with this madness.
