Last week, I tried to register for a service and was really surprised by a password limit of 16 characters. Why on earth yould you impose such strict limits? Never heard of correct horse battery staple?

A lot of older systems I worked on had password requirement of exactly 7 characters, no special characters, no numbers and no upper case. Must have been interesting times in security when those systems were made.
