So long as I can use more than that, I won't complain. I don't remember the service, but I definitely remember one where they wouldn't allow over a certain amount of characters and that was annoying because that was when I was still using repeat passwords back in highschool. My preferred password at the time was roughly 20 characters, but apparently that was too much because who cares about security, am I right?
It's even worse when they have a limit and don't enforce it consistently. I had to submit a big report to my bank because I made a 24 character password at account creation but the login page only allowed 16 characters.
It used to be a thing more often, but for a long time even when youre logging in via a website, there were (and probably still are) legacy backend systems that have limits on the password length.
