Not a big surprise, they did the same with Windows 98. Everything after the first 14 was silently dropped.

Even worse the password was accepted in full when registered, but the login field won’t accept the full length.

No, they’ll accept it. Then on the log in page tell you the max limit is X, even though on the password creation page, the password length you used was X+Y
