The ultimate sin is when a websites app doesn't support a password that the website does. Another favorite is when the change password requirements are higher than whats supported.

Apps that don't let me at least paste something from my password manager can also fuck right off.

I had an android app refuse to log me in because of my email address, despite having an activated account for weeks.
