After my PayPal incident (which they didn't actually sort out properly, the money did leave my bank account and I had to manually transfer it back) I've been changing passwords and such and I've realised how annoying the insistence on short passwords is.
I've just had to change the password for my Tesco Clubcard Credit Card and they insist on it being 6-8 alphanumeric characters. I want /MORE/.
Whereas when I changed my Uni/Work password they wanted it to be particularly secure.
Upper case
Lower case
Number
Other character
and possibly also at least so long.
I should probably use KeePass though.
