Sites with dumb password rules

My local bank made a new website that does something similar, where the input for creating the password is truncated to be shorter than the field for entering the password. I forget the exact length but it is pretty short, like 10 characters. It took me forever to figure out why I couldn't log in to their new site.

Reading this and other similar experience, I wonder if one could make a browser extension (or vendors implement on the browser) to warn the user when they are typing behind the maxlength.

I like this idea. It's a general enough issue that making it a browser standard could be quite nice.
