This dumb password rule is from Merrill Lynch.

Passwords must be between 8 and 20 characters, and some special characters are allowed. Users with randomly-generated passwords may find it particularly annoying to generate a password that works for their password safe.

This dumb password rule is from Minecraft.

Using a 16 character password seems to work. Everything else above does not always work.
Also, passwords that are too long are still changed, so you have to reset them by email.

This dumb password rule is from Kryterion Webassessor.

I was quite surprised to see this when I was registering for my Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer certification. Nice part is that they don't allow quotes as special character, so I assume there possibly might be some other issues on their backends. :-)

This dumb password rule is from Microsoft (e company store).

This dumb password rule is from PayPal.

Must be between 8 and 20 characters, no spaces, uppercase and lowercase, one symbol...

The rule limits special characters to !@#$%^&*(). but my current password has a "-" in it so someone decided to restrict this further which is totally backwards. Things are meant to get better not worse!

This dumb password rule is from Telekom/T-Systems MyWorkplace.

Telekom's MyWorkplace is a Single Sign On / login hub for their
Open Telekom Cloud which is basically an Amazon AWS clone. It's
rather new and especially for business customers. Especially
because it is for business customers, there's absolutely no reason
to limit a password to 16 characters. Eve...
