LinkedIn did exactly that to my password - truncated it to 16 characters. Without your post I would still be wasting time trying to find the max password size or contacting LinkedIn support. Now that my problem is resolved, I sent a suggestion for improvement to LinkedIn - they should clearly indicate the max password length on their page and reject longer passwords.
