The typing hint (during save) exists now in LO 7.0 thanks to bug 43452.


The open dialog itself does not (and should not) limit the characters to 15.
However, I could not open an xls file with a 16 character password created by
Excel 2016.

The code that handles the password checking for xls seems to be in
comphelper/source/misc/docpasswordhelper.cxx
DocPasswordHelper::requestAndVerifyDocPassword()


I also am not able to open Mike's document from comment 9 in LO.

The code that handles the password checking for doc seems to be in
sw/source/filter/ww8/ww8par.cxx
Init97Codec()
