    The length limit is mostly for the user’s sake - companies don’t want people to set their passwords to 30+ character ones that they keep forgetting and call their tech support to reset.

      That’s really really really annoying, as someone who has a good, strong brain-based password algorithm and hates it when websites forbid my strong password forcing me to make an exception.
