 The documentation for the 'the_password_form' hook currently reminds
 developers that the database schema limits the password to 20 characters
 in length.

 https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/5a30482419f1b0bcc713a7fdee3a14afd67a1bca/src/wp-includes
 /post-template.php#L1780-L1782

 However, starting in WordPress 3.6 the password is no longer stored as
 plaintext, and instead as a hash, which removes the length limitation of
 the password.

 I'd suggest that the reminder can just be removed.

 Props @davidhbrown for noticing this.
