One thing they should change is the word “password.” This implies that it’s a short string. Changing it to “passphrase” will help people feel comfortable choosing credentials like “correct horse battery staple.”

I recently set up a password with a 16 character max, alphanumeric only, no spaces. The service is in no way a security threat but still.

A couple years ago I ran into one with a 12 character limit…
I never understood password limits, other than something sufficiently large like 256 to prevent DOS.
