So, I went through the whole logo creation process and got stuck at the sign up screen. I don't mind signing up, but when I used last pass to generate a password, I got told it was too long. I only tried to generate one that was ~9 characters long. If you are checking length, might want to put the requirements on that screen

I got past the signup screen but was then presented with a scrolling list of empty logo options (testing on my iPhone 7).

I thought the same, but it turns out you need to type a word into that input box to see the logos. The words scrolling are just examples you could type.

Oh really? I ended up skipping it because I thought they weren't loading. Should at least have a blinking cursor.

Yeah, I stopped here too. I'm not going to hand over my details sight-unseen ...

In Chrome, Right-click the edge of that "Sign-up" div, inspect, find and select the containing div if you didn't hit it already, and hit the delete key. I was able to use the site and browse more styles and customize from there.

Circumventing access controls, probably worth mentioning that's unlikely to be lawful in the UK.

Really you should not be checking length at all. There is no such thing as a password which is "too long."

From a password security standpoint, I largely agree. You can open yourself to system attacks by allowing arbitrary length input. You should have some kind of limits on any user input.

Sure, but that limit should be closer to hundreds of characters—not 9.

Agreed :)
