Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?

Fuck this! My bank has this, and not just that, the limit is 6 digits, that's right, only digits and only 6 of them.

My balance is harder to guess than my password (if you include cents)

Fuck!

All of them do this where I'm based. 4 to 6 digits is common.

I'm talking about online banks. Not even worth engaging with the others.
