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?

"correct horse battery staple" is for your password manager password. The regular passwords for services should be random character gibberish.

Edit: to be clear, though, I'm not excusing their failure to allow >16 characters of gibberish.
