Stupid Security Measures
I've just tried to sign up to a website which requests a password. So I enter a nice pass phrase and hit the register button, only to be thrown back. The password must be between 8 and 20 characters. Great. So I shorten the pass phrase and try again. Same result, different error - the password can't contain spaces. Dumb, really dumb. Let's restrict the number of characters that can be used for password and restrict what those characters can be. Talk about dumb security. Sigh.

At least they're not telling you "password already in use, please choose another" ;)
