Description immo 2013-02-15 09:41:39 UTC 
There is no error message if the new password is longer than 16 chars.
But I guess its shorten automatically and therefore the long one will not work afterwards. But nobody realized that it was shorten automatically.

The check works fine on the user prefs dialog (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=account)

but not on token based page
