| Password login length is capped While the site allows you to create a new password of any length, the login-password field is capped at 12 characters: <INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD NAME="p" SIZE=10 MAXLENGTH=12 VALUE="">
...thus, it is impossible to login with that password. |

kudos:20 | I've never had any trouble logging in with my ridiculously long password. Looks like it's only displaying 12 characters though. Maybe everyone's passwords are truncated to 12?

the password is uncapped in length but maybe I missed an input field, I will check.
edit: I think thats the last maxlength fields removed. |

I have a feeling this is going to cause issues with some people. I have been using a "14" character password since the great hacking of 2011. I just learned that it was 12 characters all along, but apparently when I changed it and every time I've logged in since then, the field was truncating it to 12.
So now if I try to log in with the 14 char password I had memorized, it doesn't work. I had to type in just the first 12 characters to get in, but I wouldn't have known that if I didn't see this thread before you changed it.
edit: the big mystery here is how my password was truncated when I changed it originally. the password change page is clearly not limited to 12 chars, but maybe it was in 2011?

kudos:15 | I was thinking about that and I can check the truncated version of the input password for a pass as well - for old passwords. |
