    A maximum password length is a sign they could be storing your password in plain text. A particular hash algorithm for computing password hashes always produces the same length output, so password length doesn't matter all that much. It's not a certainty, but the main reason you would have a maximum password length is because you are actually storing it. That's when you're really glad you're using a password manager with a unique password for every site.
