Re:Ask HN: Why Limit Password Length? on Thursday February 25, 2021 @07:15PM (#26270086)
Websites that limit password length or use those innane password requirements are the bane of my existence. They force me to create stupid passwords with symbols and weird capitalizations that I will never remember, forcing me to write them down somewhere or manually add it to a password manager. For many people, it's more convenient to just reset the password every time they need to use these websites because of their bs password requirements.
