This dumb password rule is from E-Trade.

Causes:
* Your two-factor authentication code must be appended to the end of the password
* Passwords have a limit of 32 characters

Effect:

If your account has a 32-character password and has two-factor authentication,
their system appears to cut off the token, making it impossible to login.

Many moons ago when I worked for a large unnamed (you could guess it in 2 guesses) US investment bank, this was how their MFA was applied.

It wasn't stupid. Just clunky.
