> I've found the best way to get around this limit is to give the account information to my payroll department and then never access it.

Maybe I don't understand, but isn't the issue not your access to it, but others'? If you are forced to have a weak password protecting sensitive information, then it's an issue even if you never need to access that information yourself. (Or maybe you mean that you never even establish the account, and hence the weak password, in the first place?)

Merely wordplay on leaving your money in an account and letting it accumulate. Was continuing on the "8 character limit in my bank account" double meaning.
