Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Step 1: create a 20 character password, store it in your password manager

Step 2: the account creation process keeps the first 16 characters

Step 3: attempt to log in with the 20 character password, fail.

I found the 16 character maximum in the password rules in their FAQ, so tried the first 16 chars of my password and it worked, so the above must be how it worked

The text boxes shouldn't have a character limit on them for this very reason. If they need to configure a limit they should allow the form to be submitted but return an error telling it's too many characters. Truncating the user's input is really bad for the exact reason you mention.

There's a lot of sites with bad ways of handling credentials. I really hate sites that stop you from pasting in passwords.

My bank used to block pasting, so I used a browser extension version of KeePass to auto type

Luckily they changed that policy when password managers became the main recommended method of handling passwords

So I no longer know my bank password, I saw it once when I accepted what KeePass generated

KeePass Auto-type is an amazing feature. One that many KeePass users also don't seem to know about!
