That is so insane. To think they would rather just clip the passwords instead of habing it be longer.

Did you try out your hypothesis by using the first 8 letters than just random junk until you hit your password length?

I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.

I also had two friends in the same bank to validate

And I’m honestly surprised they let you do that many password tries. I would seriously consider changing banks.
