Apple iTunes/Apple ID pwd rules is really annoying.

Microsoft online service incl (based still on the decades old 1997's Hotmail login system is archaic) has an upper limit of 8 (or so) chars. (Office365/Outlook.com/etc)

What? That's incorrect - I've recently had 1Password change my Outlook.com password, and it's much more than 8 characters.
