    Nothing enrages me more than a password character limit. Thank you for making sure my password is LESS secure with your idiotic requirements based on security recommendations that are at least a decade old.

      How about… an undisclosed character limit? We’ll just keep telling you your password is invalid until you figure out the max length.

        Fun fact, this is a feature of Lemmy:

        • Lemmy has an undisclosed password limit of 60 characters.
        • Lemmy’s signup form will silently truncate passwords longer than 60 characters to 60 characters.
        • Lemmy’s login form will crash when passwords longer than 60 characters are submitted.

        Someone please submit a PR

        Let the users enter as many characters as they want and silently crop the password to a few characters.

        I would give up before I figured that out and find some other service to use.
