Use an 8-char Windows NTLM password? Don't. Every single one can be cracked in under 2.5hrs

Maximum Password length

the sites that bug me (and there are a few banking sites that do this) - are those that have a MAXIMUM password length.

so I can only use a 12 or 14 character password - mine tend to be 20+ characters long when I want something secure, and around 15 for the sites I am not giving any financial information to.
