At least they let you.

My LinkedIn password was also used for a rather old, unimportant POP account. So I went into Viginmedia account settings to change it.

Not only does Virgin enforce a maximum password length of 10 (what?!) this fact also lead me to discover that the company has a profanity filter on its passwords. (Double what!?)

What a clbuttic mistake.
That might be because there are situations where they would ask for your password on the phone... ;-)
