Sometimes I can understand this because banks work with old software that just has these restrictions.

But modern apps: just give us Unicode support. And maybe a limit of 255 characters, but not less.

Noticed the other day BCrypt has a max input size of 72 bytes.

Ah ofcourse. My bad. I was thinking about other restrictions like usernames. For passwords there should not be any.

That's what I'm saying. Passwords should probably have a reasonable limit like 72 bytes.
