You're about to discover a security snafu that's left me scratching my head - and my fingers on my keyboard. As an aspiring business customer at Conrad.de, I embarked on the registration process, but what happened next was nothing short of astonishing. It turns out that even I, with a randomly generated 27-character password (yes, you read that right), couldn't complete the registration due to a seemingly innocuous "maximum allowed length" constraint. I'm talking about a maximum length for passwords, a practice I've always assumed was a relic of the past. So, I did what any self-respecting cybersecurity enthusiast would do - I dug in and found out why this is still a thing. And trust me, you won't want to miss my exploration of this security mismatch.
