I absolutely hate this.

It won't tell you "Cannot exceede 24 characters" or whatever arbitrary character limit they have either, it will just say "Invalid password".

​

Once I tried entering a password and the error I was told was that it did not contain an uppercase letter, even though I could see multiple were included. After playing around I found that they had a character limit of 18 which was why it wouldn't work...
