It boggles sometimes.

I remember about 2015 (?) In the vicinity anyway, PayPal has a 12 character MAXIMUM on their passwords.

PayPal, you know the place where you can literally transfer all the money. A 12 character MAXIMUM

I emailed them to suggest they change this requirement. And they replied saying that 12 characters was sufficient if you used special characters and numbers.

Glad they have finally changed it now.

Yeah that really bugs me.

Like come one, "Ma5terp!ece" is more secure than "Regain Refinance Clarify Cuddle9"

Maybe in bizaro world.

I was changing my password on a pretty big company website the other day.

The password generated by my password manager kept giving me a http error (500 I think)

I generated a new password and deleted all the special characters other than the obvious ones. Boom, worked first time.

So looks like someone is not sanitising their inputs properly.

I sent them an email so hopefully they will fix.

Cool definitely worth a try then.

I will import my passwords from 1password and give the free account a go.

So bitwarden is £10/month?

1password is like £3/month

I'm guessing that must be at a different subscription level.

Thank you for the really detailed rundown. I might try both for a while and see what I like.

How is bit warden compared to 1password?

I have recently switched to 1passwrd. But it is a paid subscription
