You can also tell if a site does this when they have seemingly arbitrary restrictions on passwords that are actually database text field restrictions.
Especially if they have a maximum password length. The maximum password length should be just the maximum length the server will accept, because it should be hashed to a constant length before going into the database.
I recently created an Activision account during a free weekend event and discovered their password system is completely broken. 30 character limit but refused to accept any more than 12 characters. Kept erroring out with must be less than 30. Once I got it down to 12 it accepted that, but then it complained about certain special characters. Definitely not giving them financial information.
My bank if you get your card number through the app has a dynamic ccv that changes every day so while not perfect is what I use whenever purchasing online
