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
So secure even you don't know the password. It's like built in MFA.
This was me on a bank's site till I clued in that I need to shorten my password.
Why do you have an account for your local fast food joint?!
so he can get even faster food? idk
To order through their site, I try to use the places own sites instead of justeat etc so they get more of the money. As you can imagine they aren't the best websites though.
You can't just order per telefon?
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!
Sometimes there's a limit on the length but it's only imposed by the JavaScript of the website, so I can use my password manager to insert the text directly into the field but I can't actually type it in.
😐
I think walmart.com was or is that way. Took me a while to figure that crap out.
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.
