My password is not accepted because it is too long

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.

The password on my PC is something like 30 characters long. Back when win10 was first coming out, they were pushing getting an actual outlook account and tying that to your login. I was hesitant at first, but figured I'd try it out and see how that worked for me.
Turns out outlook accounts (at the time) had something like a 16 character limit on passwords. Bruh.
