Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?

    Its even better when they don’t tell you that your password is too long, and they truncate it somewhere unknown.

    Tried a randomgen 32 character password at the local sheriff’s office. Copy and pasted it directly out of my password manager into the password creation field so I know I didn’t typo it and when I tried to login it wouldn’t work. Took me a bit of troubleshooting to figure out what happened.
