    Any service that limits maximum length of the password means they are not hashing them. Which is a scary proposition, especially for such a huge service.

      That’s normally my assumption too but surely PayPal has proper security, right? Right??

        It’s possible that limit is either gone or vestige from a bygone age and they are hashing passwords properly now. Either way they do seem like they take security seriously.
