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.

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.
No. If you’re salting and hashing your passwords, you’re doing it wrong.
We have password specific memory hard functions like argon that you should be using
