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.

My bank has an 8 character limit. Not minimum, limit
