    My normal password is 20 so I have to truncate it. Also I'm not sure why there is an artificial limit. If a user wants a 100 character password and they can remember it, why limit it to 16.

    I just don't see the sense in limiting it to 16 when those wanting shorter passwords is not affected by increasing the max.

    Thanks for reading.
