Problems when signing up/login in using long passwords

[Gimleux]

I signed up using a generated 256 character password. I received a positive feedback submitting, but when I tried to log in, a message appeared, informing me, that the password would be incorrect. As I was using a password storage and tried it multiple times, this should not be the case.
Afterwards, I signed up, using another email and a shorter password and everything worked fine.

Hi there, thanks for reporting! We will definitively have a look into that issue.

Hi, I just tried to reproduce this error but I was able to register and login with 256 character long password.

I also tried longer passwords and it worked too but it was the case only for simple passwords. (only letters)

When I used a 256 chars (upper and lower case letters and digits) password (generated in keypass), it gave me the same behavior as @Gimleux reported.

EDIT: It works until 254 length password provided, otherwise it fails.

We would probably need some kind of password rule set, that supports users while settings up their accounts and catches known problems with those kinds of passwords.
