Now imagine if you could use FIVE digits for something as important as a bank account.
-
Even more hilarious is the number of banks that have online login systems that have a maximum length of like 12 characters for the password.
and then the 2nd factor? Yeah that's just another password.
-
I've met ones that restrict passwords to be 6–8 characters
-
At my last job, our payroll logins were maxed at 6 characters
-
Install a second language keyboard, and put your password in those characters.

-
Second factor being a “security question” that anyone who stalks you on social media could figure out.
-
Not if you put nonsense as your security answer too. A lot of people don't realise that those answers should be secondary passwords.
-
But then you have to note down another password.

I use 8! My mom called me ridiculous for doing that :(
-
It is! How long does it even take to type in 40320 digits?!?
-
I figure gotta be, at least 45 seconds!

She's right, 8 is not a very secure code.
