As another person stated, on another question, you didn't really answer why the 16 character limit was imposed in the first place. Is it due to some plugin? You don't think people will remember long passwords?

It's because the password field in their database has a length of 16.

Let's hope they store a (salted) hash of the password, not the password itself.
