--- Comment #4 from Katarina Behrens (CIB) <katarina.behr...@cib.de> ---
No regression, it's been like this since the beginning of time. 

There's indeed 15 char length limit on passwords in LO, restricted to MSO
formats. I can't quite see why as it's impossible to search commit history so
far back into the past. 

Likely because of this:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772916%28v=office.12%29.aspx It
looks like such limit used to exist in binary MSO formats (.doc, .xls)

Couldn't find any info on password limits in OOXML standard, just that this 15
char limit exists in MS Excel on Mac platform:
https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Require-a-password-to-open-or-modify-a-workbook-10579f0e-b2d9-4c05-b9f8-4109a6bce643
probably independent of file format.
