Saving passwords AFTER password change has been submitted

The reality is, there are still plenty of sites that haven’t updated their password requirements. Smaller companies, companies that don’t store critical information, companies that are slow to adopt new processes, etc. They limit password length to 12 characters or under, or they only allow using certain special characters, if any at all. They are usually the same sites that don’t list the password requirement upfront so a user has no way of predicting if a chosen password will work or not until they try to submit the change.

Even for sites that have updated their password requirements, they might have lower requirements that what a user uses as a standard. For instance, many reputable sites limit password length to 20 characters, some limit length to 16 characters. It’s not an uncommon thing so I, too, hope this can be fixed in the software.
