A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

The amount of websites that limit passwords to 16 characters is alarming
Usually 15, 16, 20, or 25 in my experience.
15/16 I get, no idea why 20/25 is so common.
My password manager generates 32 character passwords composed of random alphanumeric characters by default. I usually don't modify it unless I hit a restriction, or its a site I'm particularly concerned about getting penetrated (in which case I increase the number of characters).
I don't mind sharing that because bluntly: anyone reading this, good luck figuring it out. The permutations is something along the lines of (26*2+10+(special characters))^32... Which is 3.5239... * 10^60... Otherwise known as 3.5 novemdecillion.
Ha.
Wish we just had like 256 char passwords so I could actually use passphrases instead of passwords.
It'd be way more secure for me compared to what I'm doing now.
I'd do like Star Trek haikus or some such which would be actually possible to remember.
A person of culture, I see.
For spice, I randomly change my password length. 15 to 50+. I don't even fucking know.
I created an account on a hosted service we use at work the other day, my password had to be exactly 12 characters. No more no less.
Wow, that's an extra level of special.
Stored plaintext in a CHAR(12) field in a DB2 database.
My fucking bank: 👀
ALL banks.
