PayPal does not accept passwords longer than 20 characters. THIS IS NOT LONG ENOUGH. I have already had "long" passwords with a combination of letters, numbers and other characters in my Yahoo Mail hacked and many others have had that happen too with other webmail services. I don't care that much about the strength of my passwords on many websites, but PayPal has complete access to my entire bank account and credit card and this one password needs to be a strong as possible. The best way to have people put in long passwords is to have them enter an entire sentence or two, since that's much easier to remember than a random "word" of 8-20 characters which usually won't include numbers or punctuation. This is exactly why many people have difficulty in remembering their passwords, because they are too short to be easily verbally remembered and recited. Computing power is getting so cheap that very shortly passwords of 8-20 characters are going to be routinely cracked. When this happens to PayPal, PayPal is going to basically have to be shut down, at least until all transactions during that time are verified and everyone applies for new credit card numbers from their banks. Mark my words, you heard it hear first. There is a chance to prevent this from happening. Please fix this ASAP.
