In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)
Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.
You think that’s infuriating? Imagine having an ISP that wants you to pick a password of max 8 characters.
That was the insurance corp my career came bundled with for a decade until recently.
Sunlife. Finally very slowly replacing their garbage old website.
I’ll do you one better. The target redcard credit card doesn’t allow non-standard special chars, max I think it was 12 chars and gets pissy at using known SQL special chars. If it wasn’t for the fact it required a credit check prior to getting to that screen I would have ran so hard.
What’s even more annoying is their password field says that it does support that, but if you try via the mobile app it errors out
Time to choose a new ISP!
Ah yes, I will just go to another ISP. Wait, there’s only one.
In the US you can pull up the FCC broadband tracker to see what companies offer service
Sure but that doesn’t change the lack of competition. For my address, I have two non wireless providers, and one of them is copper only and capped at 50 down. So not a lot of choice if an ISP is screwing you.
That really sucks
I feel like it is cases like that were community run infrastructure can really help. It provides decent service and puts pressure on the local ISP to do better.
