2015 - The Year of Less Secure Passwords?
I'm kind of confused here - I tried to log in to my Ally account to pay my car payment and was informed that their passwords don't accept symbols and that I need to reset my password.
This was a surprise; I can't find any sort of email or other notification about this change. And it was sort of a hassle because I don't keep my VIN or account number handy.
