Sounds awesome, whereas my German bank still doesn't allow proper passwords, only "PINs" no longer than 5 characters.

Fun fact, you can change your login though, it can be 15 characters including non-alphanumeric. /s

Which German bank is that?
Stadtsparkasse München - and I'm not sure if the other Sparkassen are better. Maybe some are, you never know what exactly they share and what's different.
I know about one. Three other banks where I have accounts, users are allowed to use passwords with a maximum length of 16 characters, which are also restricted in the way that you cannot choose freely. Things like & or { are usually forbidden.
