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

Just move to kbin.

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.
