    60 character passwords with any amount of complexity would take effectively infinite time to brute, an 18 character password with complex characters would take millions of years… There is no reason to use 60, let alone more than

      Have you heard about pass phrases ?

      Also, none of those is a sane reason to limit password length. A huge point of hashing is having short, constant length strings on output no matter the input. There’s no limitation or database issue there.

      The only reason to limit password length is actually security (for bad algorithms) and DoS, but that requires a limit in the thousands.
