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.

    At least provide email as an option, which might at least be TLS encrypted. If you’re going to screw up security, at least make it something I can somewhat secure.
