My bank not only allows a maximum of 6 characters, but it truncates all characters beyond 6 when processing the login form. If my password was "passwd", they would accept "passwdjdodw89wawlks".

My bank secretly truncates your password to the first 12 characters. The login form processes all characters. I found this out because I couldn't login after having "successfully" set my password to 32 random characters. Luckily customer support was able to confirm the first 12 characters of the password over the phone.

Fun times were had by all!
