It’s infuriating to create a “strong password” with letters, numbers, upper and lowercase, symbols, and non-repeating text… but it has to be only 8 to 16 characters long.

That’s not a “strong” password, random characters or not.

Is there a limitation that somehow prevents these sites from allowing more than 16 characters?

I’m talking government websites, not just forums. It seems crazy to me.

    Well yes everyone should use a password manager but some people can’t load a password manager onto their work computer and therefore are more likely to use non-random passwords. It’s easier to remember a passphrase than a random password.
