In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)

Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.

    Recently had a password that was acceptable for the account creation page on the website but too long for the login screen in the mobile app.

    Took me a while to figure out that pasting into that field was just quietly dropping characters.

      What is worse is when it does not quietly drop any characters and you have to keep resetting your password.
