    for a long time, hotmail (and i think windows live mail) only checked the first 16 characters.

      That’s almost as good as the ones that limit password on the sign-in UI, but not on the sign-up

        I have run across one that allowed arbitrary length when doing account creation and password reset but silently truncated the login input.

        Took me hours to figure out that my password was longer than the documented length, try it and then have no problems.
