    How about… an undisclosed character limit? We’ll just keep telling you your password is invalid until you figure out the max length.

        I’ve run into this where the sign-up form silently truncated the password but the login form didn’t. Took me several password resets to guess the thing was being trimmed to 16 characters.

      Fun fact, this is a feature of Lemmy:

      • Lemmy has an undisclosed password limit of 60 characters.
      • Lemmy’s signup form will silently truncate passwords longer than 60 characters to 60 characters.
      • Lemmy’s login form will crash when passwords longer than 60 characters are submitted.
