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?

    hashed, which means they take up a fixed size

    One would hope so anyway,

    you should have form upload size limits

    The above conflicts directly with OP’s Accept any utf8 string

        If you aren’t required to use an upload manager, are you really setting a solid password :thinking:

      Ok. Take up to 65,536 bytes of utf8 string. Or better yet. Accept any password length. I mean any. But instead of transmitting it you bcyrpt on their machine and then use the resulting key to hmac sign a recent timestamp that can’t be reused.
