Ok but are 15 characters too much?
I've seen 14-char limits, which are NOT reasonable
there is at least one bank that I know of with a 12 character limit
There's a major bank in Australia that limited passwords to six characters. Exactly six. No more, no less. The passwords were also case-insensitive.
Yikes, how do banks, of all things, have such low password limits...
