“More than half of the websites in the study accepted passwords with six characters or less, with 75% failing to require the recommended eight-character minimum. Around 12% of had no length requirements, and 30% did not support spaces or special characters.”

Sadly, a lot of these websites deal with finances or employment.
Paypal lol. Literally my most insecure password
