My car insurance company silently changed password policies (or implementation) during the year, so that special characters would not be allowed. Of coure I am a diligent enigneer so ALL OF MY PASSWORDS have special characters. I could not log in, so I clicked the password recovery feature (I honestly thought I might have forgotten) aaand... they sent me an e-mail with my current password in clear text. No temporary password to log in and change. Nothing... and of course that password wouldn't work. I needed 3 days of phonecalls to non-existant customer service numbers - I had to use whois informations to get to the legal registered office and phone them. Then I needed to explain several times that I ALREADY CLICKED ON THAT FUMIGATING BUTTON.

Solution: after threatening them with lawsuit and publicity of all the endeavour on the national papers they destroyed my current account allowing me to open another one tied to my insurance number with a new password and applied all the feasible discounts on my renewal.
