Makes you think, why some websites don't allow commas in passwords.
@smiddi @Xavier Side note: just 2 years ago, I used the 'forgot password' function of a smaller Telco provider. They *emailed* it to me in *cleartext*.
My assumption is that many of the sites that impose character limits on pwd text fields do so for easier clear text storage in their database.
Discussed this with a responsible person and only got shrugging shoulders.
