Some kind of upper bound is usually sensible. You can open a potential DoS vector by accepting anything. The 72 byte bcrypt/scrypt limit is generally sensible, but going for 255 would be fine. There’s very little security to be gained at those lengths.
By any length I meant no maximum length. Obviously you don’t want to use a super short password.

“What’s your password?”
“The letter A.”
Mine is the null string. They’ll never guess it!
