Hash: SHA512

I was going to buy my nephew a savings bond for his birthday (he is one,
what else can you really get him?) and I was trying to sign up on
treasurydirect.gov and was appauled by the security so I thought I would
share.

First they have all these different rules regarding what you must have
in your password (which I always think is dumb, let me pick my own
password), however they limit you to 16 characters.

Then I go to login and find out that the password isn't case sensitive
(which makes me question if it's being hashed), and their "security" is
that you can't type your password you have to use their onscreen
keyboard (which can easily be fixed by opening up web dev tools and
removing "readonly="readonly" " from the input field.

I am just saying that I wish the government body which is in charge of
money stuff would be a little smarter with their development.
