Hi all,
I personally do not use any password managers & think that password managers are a a very bad idea. However i use my brain to create unique password combinations for every single site/service.
upon doing so i have found that sites that should have very high security infrastructure is lacking. For Example
Some Banks
Does not allow Symbols
Paypal
has max limit for 13 characters when creating a password
But using their login service Through a site to purchase an item allows 13+?
essentially locking people's accounts.
Many other services
Have Different A-Z 0-9 Limits.
Length Limits
I know this down to how they encrypt the data, Or NOT in some cases.
my questions are:
Should Banks be forced to support symbols? as they increase security ten fold
Should their be a global standard any Payment site should follow?
Eg
Character limit 25
Characters allowed All, Including Symbols
Must use SHA-256bit encryption
Just curious on your thoughts
