Edit: @Successful_[email protected] solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".
It says one special character, not at least one. Maybe the password has more than one.

Holy shit!! You did it. I would never expect a banking password to max special characters. I have been scratching my head with Bitwarden and this shitty app for an hour.

My guess is they mean, one capital letter, one lower case letter, a number, and a special character
what's always amused me about these rules is that they exist because people are dumb. Technically, they lower the difficulty of the passwords slightly. ( for example, knowning that one character is a number reduces it to 10 options in stead of 10+26+26+whatever set of special characters)
anyhow. people should use password managers. just saying.
It's fucking insane that an internet banking portal has such a low cap on max characters and such shitty rule enforcement.
They can't even properly check their copy on critical infrastructure. Top notch work over there, top to bottom.
It is insane that any internet banking portal still uses a static password.
wdym? What's a dynamic password?
Time-based one-time passwords. It's been used for years for multi-factor authentication.

At least it should not, in many countries must not, be the only measure.
I once encountered an OR in the requirements: Capital letters, small letters and digits OR special characters.
