In password security, the longer the better. With a password manager, using more than 24 characters is simple. Unless, of course, the secure password is not accepted due to its length. (In this case, through STOVE.)

Possibly indicating cleartext storage of a limited field (which is an absolute no-go), or suboptimal or lacking security practices.

Assuming a breach, and hashes are released, its significantly harder to bruteforce a long password.

Some (a lot) poorly set up websites may not even have a limit on password attempts, or cooldowns.
