Edit: @Successful_[email protected] solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

I had to create an account on a government website. The website didn't list a character limit so I used a password manager to generate a 32 character password. My account was created but I couldn't log in. I used the "forgot my password" option and I received an email of my password in plain text. I also noticed why I couldn't log in. The password was truncated to just 20 characters. Brilliant website! Tax dollars at work!
