  • PlayStation Network has a limit of around 30 characters but they let you pick something longer. They even send you an email confirming that your password has been updated. But if you try to login with your new password it won’t work.

    I’ll probably forget this within the next time I have to change it. I will then AGAIN try with 128 characters and then 125, 120, 115… while yelling at the emails they send me.




  • I worked in one of the biggest telecom companies in Europe. This is most likely an order made through customer service. The telecom companies have known about this problem for a long time. They are trying balance security and ease of use for the customer.

    If company A implements noticeably stricter requirements for identification to order stuff, the average customer gets annoyed and switches to company B.

    Therefore the companies watch each other closely and implement stricter requirements slowly at about the same rate as their competitors.

    Protip: You can contact customer service of most telecom companies and ask them to write down a password that you need to tell them before you can order a SIM or other stuff.
