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?

also, if they think a strong password is only about types of characters. a dozen words from as many languages and 5+alphabets is just as good!
