- robin_reala 9y agoYep, just checked that on their sign-up page and it’s max 20 characters. I guess DB space is expensive.
- contravariant 9y agoSpace is only a concern if they store the password in plaintext.
- robin_reala 9y agoIt was snark, but regardless I can’t think of a good reason to limit a password to 20 characters.
