Of course you get banks that only let you set an 8-character
password, all in the name of security.

OK, just use F$ckY0u!
Password already in use, please choose another...
More joking aside, I'll bet that's a very common one.
There's an awful lot of things that want you to login these days,
things that really don't need to know who you are. In the past they
used to say login using your Hotmail address and password, now it's
gmail, and people stupidly do. They give it the password for their
email address, instead of setting a password for that service. And
then they get owned, either because that site set out to harvest their
credentials, or is an easily hacked site that gets them stolen from it.
Most sites that want to use your gmail address will redirect you to
google to do the authentication. If not, then don't enter your
password. And any site that stores plain-text passwords should be
banned from the internet.
