Password length requirement
(feddit.org)
Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?
Ran into this when I chose a password for my new work e-mail. As my employer is Chinese, error messages show up in mandarin, so it took me a while to understand what the problem was: Must be between 9 and 16 characters long.
