I worked for 10+ years in a big AU bank. They passed passwords between systems in essentially clear text (in fact they were encrypted but everyman and his dog knew or had easy access to the encryption key) - bottom line though is the passwords were stored in a manner that could very easily be exploited. And banks go on so much about security - it is a smoke screen.

I just don't understand how here in 2016, we're limited to 10 characters.
