It's a tiny detail on an otherwise cool site, but the 10 character maximum on the password when you create an account is really annoying.

It's not just the 10 character limit but also they disallow special characters (i.e. no exclamation mark). When I developed my web app, I had a wise programmer tell me to allow up to 32 characters with special characters. I don't like being limited to what my password can be. My bank's website is horrible at that.

Yeah, Amex's site only lets you use 8 characters (and it's case insensitive!).
