I hate password requirements - like this one from Mapquest API:
"Passwords must be between eight and sixteen characters in length. Passwords must utilize at least one character from three of the four following character sets: a-z, A-Z, 0-9, Valid Symbols Valid symbols include ! @ # % ^ ( ) _ - + = | : ' < > , . / ? and ~ "
I wish they would let me put whatever password I want.
Suntrust bank used to require a 4 character password for online banking services. That was the MAXIMUM! There are plenty of services that require a minimum length for passwords, but I've never heard of another that specifies such a tiny maximum length - particularly a service that is dealing with such personal financial information! Now there's a genius move by SunTrust Bank.
