But you forgot the rule where it couldn't be more than 12 characters long, so you didn't try the correct variation until the validation error for the password reset told you what the rules are.
This is the one I don't get. Sure you don't want people putting in an infinitely long password, but I like to have my passwords at around 15 characters. Why are you forcing me to make a less secure password?
Only reason I can think of is storage but even at a massive scale, this is text, paying for that storage would cost as much as a rounding error.
It's even worse. If done correctly, the length of the password does not affect the size of the stored value. Because if you're doing it right, you only save the hash of the password. And the length of the hash is fixed.
