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?

    Makes you wonder if they store the password in plain text, or convert to lower key during your first input so it’s at least hashed. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s not.
