A bank had once the fucked up idea to require some characters of the password. It was a Polish bank and I know that another one there has the same idiotic idea.

So you had to write down your passwords, map an index (1, 2, 3, ...) to each character and check the ones that match.

But it was not all! You had a time limit!

These idiots disabled it for some time and then apparently reenabled it again.

I wonder, seriously, which education the inventor had and to which point his team was saying yes to everything.
