    If you always use the maximum then the length of your password becomes predictable which reduces the number of permutations.

    It’s probably better to use a password of around 60-100% of the maximum

      I mean, that’s true. And that’s usually the case since I typically use a slider. But if you password is 100 characters, numbers, and symbols, I don’t think telling them the exact length is going to help much.
