Password length limit

CrumblyLiquid · 05-17-2026, 09:36 AM

Hi, I've just created my account but had to immediately reset my password since I couldn't use my password.

Since I'm using a password manager and simply copy-pasting my password I'm pretty sure that the password form truncates or somehow alters the password without telling the user.

It would be great if the password form for told you straight away that your password is too long/invalid.

Hi CrumblyLiquid, thanks for reporting this. You were right: password setup forms could silently truncate long passwords, and this has now been fixed.
