I’m lucky my banking app works (GrapheneOS), as it’s now requiring 2FA with the app anytime I login on the browser. Can’t use an actually secure form like TOTP. At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Are you 100% certain they don’t just truncate your password to 8 characters?

I’ve seen a website that silently truncated my password during a password reset, but then wouldn’t truncate it during login. It took me a while to figure out why my password never worked.

What, do you think banks have the money for storing all those extra unnecessary characters? MS Access databases are only so powerful.

Since when does MS access run on IBM mainframes?

Never ever ever store passwords in the database. Salted hash only. It’s fixed length even if the password is a gigabyte long.

Your bank are allowing you to use characters ? Mine only allows numbers for the password, it has to be 8 number, no less, no more.
