I think the worst case ive seen is a 16 character limit, not enforced at sign up, but enforced at login

    This was Microsoft - for their online services such as Hotmail or Outlook.com or Azure - well into the 21st century. They first lifted that limit in 1999, then re-established that in 2012. They only re-reversed it back to a longer option (up to 256 characters) in 2019.

    Like, morons.
