My big problem is that every different site seems to have different rules. This one must start with a number, this one a letter, this one can't have #, the other can't have any special characters. So my password locker can't get fine grained enough with the random generation, I can either get all special characters or none.
Then you have the other wonderful problem... bugs. One of the financial institutions I use here have a wonderful password reset function. Either you call them up or you answer a handful of questions like "What was the last deposit amount?", "When was the account opened?", the last of which is one of the security questions you set up when you opened the account. The problem is that the site has a bug where the security question is blank. It just has "Answer the following question:" and is followed by a text box to type in the answer.
Brilliant I tell you!

Edit: sorry, I didn't see your link.
You're right, overly complex of hashing algorithms can have an effect on performance as the length of password increases.
As suggested in the article, I would be content with a 4096 byte password limit

I know what you mean.
Internal sites at my workplace do weird things too.
Some use employee IDs as log-ins, some use email addresses and there's another that seems to use some randomly generated number as the log-in ID.
The restrictions on the passwords all seem to be different too!
My pet hate is the "secret question" thing.
If they let you design your own question, fine.
But when you can only select from a list comprising "What is your favourite colour?", "What is you favourite music artist?" and all similar, I have a problem.
My "favourate" X Y Z change from time to time.
Why can't they ask factual questions like "What is your mother's maiden name?" or "Which country were you born in?".
Having said that, I still have a problem because my non-English answers can be spelled in a few different ways when put into alphabets... 
Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike... me...

I never answer those questions with real answers.
Anyone that looks you up on the internet may be able to guess real answers.

So you are telling me that if your password was pen*s (kss filter, figure it out) then it would be too short?

So an E-flat, G-flat, and B-flat walk into a bar. The bartender says, "Sorry I do not serve minors".
So they were sent home and most likely got in treble.

What's the meter with you?

"Minor" is a chord voicing, not a note.
A major chord in western music is the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes of the scale, the minor is the 1st, flat 3rd, and 5th. Nothing to do with the individual note. So, for example, A-minor has no flats in it (A, C, E).
Just saying

Eb, Gb and Bb make an Eb minor chord.

It's OK - it's a minor mistake.

a, d, g, c, and f tried to rent a flat. The super turned them down since they don't serve minors.

That bartender's obviously a major jerk.
