Interesting, I was able to sign up with it.

Can I ask if you're using a password manager / what browser you're using?

Also for context, instead of testing password length/number of characters, I look for overall entropy in the formula of [alphabet length for char set used]^(number of letters in password). The one you described is well above the limit.

You should do none of this. It shouldn't be the websites concern if my account gets hacked - basic password requirements are fine, but anything that goes past a character count is just making the UX worse. The requirements increase friction, which you've already put at a high level due to requiring payment.

LastPass. I think maybe you're not detecting when LastPass fills it in, only when typed?
