but some websites limit the max password so they're shorter.

Hence my post above.

In general terms, a longer password Isn't always a stronger password. The "complexity" of the password, what's Included and how It's applied, all play a significant role In formulating a secure password.

They are also randomly generated with random letters (both cases), numbers, and symbols. Any password above 12 characters is going to take a long time to crack without the hash.
