Description Gerhard Burger 2011-06-18 12:31:25 UTC 
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=665277, I mistakenly reported it as a bug in bugzilla itself
Comment 1 Gerhard Burger 2011-06-18 12:32:28 UTC 
Here the content of that bug report:
If you use strong site specific passwords (eg based on http://nuttinlogs.com/post/4300704251/creating-strong-and-unique-passwords) you run the risk that your password is longer than 16 characters and can't be used in bugzilla. Please allow longer passwords!
