Can you elaborate how this sanitizes input on a password field? What unsanitary password input does it prevent?

I think statement from TFA basically boils down to "stop enforcing maxlengths on passwords, neither in the form field nor the DB". I'm no security expert but I'm a `correct horse battery staple`-adherent so if anything, password fields should have a minimum length, not maximum. Short passwords should be what's considered dirty.
