I ran into that with Paypal. Login limited my password length to something small (I think 20 characters?) but the signup page accepted my random 32 characters just fine.

I found out I could just enter the first 20 characters and log in. I've had other websites that simply broke. The worst one had a password reset page that also didn't verify their own password length limits, sending me in a frustrating password change loop.
