My biggest problem with passwords? That so many sites aren't up front with what's allowed in their passwords. Sites should tell you how long your password can be, and what characters you can use in it.
I just know that since I started using a password manager, I don't even know most my passwords, they're about twenty characters long, a jumble of characters (letters, numbers, and symbols,) and I'm happy with that.
I don't even think Google's password length is known, is it? I get that this means others don't know how long it could be either, but, that doesn't seem vitally worthwhile. Maybe I'm wrong.

This makes complete sense... they feel that obscurity will aid in defending attacks (esp. if they have some ridiculously small password-space like 6 digits).
Considering it's a small inconvenience when you first create your user password, then from a cost/ben point of view, I can see why they wouldn't advertise this info.
