I have changed the password on my Touch to a length of greater than eight characters and logging in using ssh and scp require all characters to be entered.

I cannot verify serial port logins since I have not opened my Touch and do not have a serial cable.
Read his post again. No matter how long you type the password, the first 8 characters are considered as password (I verify this).
