My main problem with passwords is the limits that sites put on what I can set for a password.

I could not tell you how many times I reset my password using my password manager, then immediately log out, and log in using the credentials I just saved into my password manager, and they don't work, because the site is truncating the password to 15/20/whatever characters.

The number of times this limitation is not clearly stated, checked for, or even acknowledged by the site is too damn high.

I've made it a habit of testing a login after every password set/reset to ensure I don't have trouble with it in the future.

The amount of websites that limit passwords to 16 characters is alarming

I created an account on a hosted service we use at work the other day, my password had to be exactly 12 characters. No more no less.

Stored plaintext in a CHAR(12) field in a DB2 database.
