Allow passwords longer than 16 characters, e.g. 64-100 characters long

I tried to sign up to Webtoon but I found the password limitation of 16 characters too restrictive. I cannot make a "long phrase" nor even any standard decent memorizable password. My only resort is to generate a random password of 16 characters, but even with special characters it doesn't sound super solid either (unless you have a very good protection against bruteforcing). And probably most users not using a password manager won't even do that, and if they use dictionary words it would make a very weak password.

Maybe your logic is that smartphone users cannot type long passwords, but such users would often login and maintain their session (on browser or, more likely in the app), therefore they wouldn't have to enter the password again many times.

Of course I could use Authentication via third-party services but I don't always want to do that.

Could you extend the password length to at least 32, ideally 64? And congrats if you can do 100.
