The worst I have seen recently is one with an eight character limit and support for only four specific special characters. I didn't test if it was cap sensitive but it wouldn't shock me if it was not. It is the invoicing portal for one of my clients. I wish that was the only technical atrocity committed by that abomination...it is not.

My work only recently did away with the requirement for passwords to be exactly 8 characters. This was due to the use of legacy mainframes afaik.
