Purely in reply to Pau's comic:
Unfortunately I saw too many password fields with a limit of maximum
length. Many are 16 chars and some are even 8 chars. I don't really know
their point: passwords are going to be hashed. Why does their original
length matter much?
Sadly from what I can tell a large portion of them don't actually hash
it....or use it in it's raw form somewhere else in their system.
