Government sites that shorten your password without telling you are a nightmare. You can reset your password with a long one, but you can never log in with it. Then everything works with a short one.

Ew the levels of fuckery. So it concatenates it down to a portion of what you typed?
That's what it seems like 🙃
Which governmental dumbasses are doing this?
A highway toll pass site. Technically a private entity, practically a government entity.
I've had private entities accept symbols upon creation, but not upon usage. I assume they were cleaning my data to prevent injection ... without telling the user which characters were forbidden.
Since it's a government site, you might be able to point out security protocols they are breaking. Once they've realized that they aren't following their own rules, just wait 10 years for them to correct it! Easy! 😀
