This dumb password rule is from IKEA.
Dumb restriction for consecutive similar characters. Wonder if someone got more that 2 identical characters in their name then
it won't allow you to even use name in password.
Password must contain:
- 8-20 characters
- **No more than 2 identical characters in a row**
- A lowercase letter (a-z)

This dumb password rule is from Thames Water.
Can only use the "special" characters on that very limited list, excluding symbols so exotic as an underscore, even. This is despite their own strength checker saying the password is strong.

This dumb password rule is from IBM TSO/E Logon terminal.
It might not be a web site, but that does not make it less dumb.
Since many don't know about IBM mainframes, it seems they don't think you need to up the policies.
Default old password policy is: 6-8 characters long, A-Z, 0-9
Over the last few years they have updated their policies a bit, but d...

It only accepts lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numbers (any other character counts as forbidden character). Also, if your password contains any invalid character, it will get marked as "Identical to the former 10 passwords". To make it more fun, during the registration, it allows to set a 24 characters password to login to their website. Once you try to login with the password, it will say that the maximum length accepted is 16 characters. What actually happens, is that they let you insert 24 characters during registration, but only the first 16 will get actually used as password.
