Description mgray88 2011-06-14 15:21:20 UTC 
The reset password form doesn't enforce the password length, or maybe it does and just truncates it, but either way it took me about 15 minutes and 3 password resets to finally decide to search the help.  As I found out, passwords have to be 16 characters or less, when I was trying to enter a 20 char password.  Since bugzilla didn't tell me this on the password reset page and told me my password change was successful, I was trying to log in with my password with no luck.

P.I.T.A.

Granted, I probably won't be forgetting my password now, bug nonetheless.
