In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)

Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.

    I’m not the one you’re asking, but I’ve had a case where using the maximum number lead to login issues. A character less did not have issues. Must have been an off-by-one implementation issue (maybe a text terminator character). 32 is a power of two number. Seems like a reasonable approach to evade such issues categorically - at the cost of a character by default of course.
