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?

I have had this before, I was so confused for a while.

Made account used my password manager, so I knew the password was correct, went around the loop a few times of "forgot password"; finally shortened form 25 to 16 characters and it just worked.
