How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

There's no good reason. Whoever did it, did it for a bad reason. (Oh, well, there's no good reason until you reach several thousand characters.)

That said, it could be worse. Some sites do not truncate your password at the creation form, and only truncate it on the login screen. (Yeah, that happened to me, in 2 different sites.)

Why is it always the one's for whom security is of utmost importance?

Login to meme account to share shitposting on the internet: top notch up to date security.

Login to the bank who actually handle my money: Clown ass security practices on obsolete infrastructure.

Yep, one of mine was the federal government's bounds buying portal...

They improved since then, but it's always the entity that holds your money or oversees your health...
