      Limiting password length is a red flag they are storing your password in plaintext. I’d be wary of using any service like that

      Most do. Source: I usually use passwords that long.

      Maybe 1 in 10 don’t, and I find that annoying since 32 characters containing only lowercase real words and spaces has several times as much entropy as 8 characters of random mixed case letters, numbers, and symbols.

      the vast majority of mine are +50 characters - you are just wrong. the services which strictly limit the length are rare and their security is suspect since they should be hashing your input anyway
