On: Two Canadian banks say accounts compromised: CIBC 40,000 and BMO 50,000

The security of these Canadian banks is very weak IMO. CIBC/Simplii, for example, does not support 2FA, has no sign in or transfer email/SMS alerts and their maximum password length, I believe, is 12 characters.

It's pervasive in Canadian banking. I have a multi-word job title.

Credit card apps will ask: "Enter your occupation, be as descriptive as possible", and I'll hit the limit...

That beats the heck out of a certain Canadian credit union that has a numerical password with a length limit of 7 digits...

Tangerine's limit is 6.

I can confirm the 12 character limit. I'm hopeful that will change as part of this.
