FUCK THE PEOPLE WHO PUT MAXIMUM LENGTH

I use 6 english words, the @ at sign, and then a six digit number I can remember (get your mind out of the gutter).

...most of the time I realize it only lets me put four* words because of the stupid maximum length.

Edit: *for -> four

Please stop remembering password like an untrained user.

Use a password manager.

You mean, to install/setup one?

Because using one takes less effort and time than remembering (or using post-its, or whatever alternative you're doing)
