Edit: @Successful_Try543@feddit.org solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.

I also had two friends in the same bank to validate

Unbelievable.

And I’m honestly surprised they let you do that many password tries. I would seriously consider changing banks.
