I did not want to attribute to malice what could just be ignorance or ineptitude. The only justifiable situation I can think of for limiting the characters is when working with legacy code. ReelFlix is based on the UNIT3D codebase which is regularly maintained. Your comment made me curious so I decided to dig into its code. It appears here that it offers two hashing algorithms for passwords: bcrypt and Argon2. So there's no real need of a character limit, and I wonder why they implemented it.
