GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 707732
Doesn't accept long passwords
Last modified: 2013-09-08 20:39:01 UTC
Even though many servers and sites are moving to increased security, Bugzilla caps the password length at 16 characters. By contrast, my university requires a *minimum* password length of 15 characters. TO REPRODUCE: * Login to bugzilla.gnome.org * Try to change password to one that is >16 characters WHAT HAPPENS: * Error message saying password is limited to 16 characters. WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: * Accept and use passwords of arbitrary length. OR (dispreferred but better than the current behaviour): * Internally truncate passwords to 16 characters * Warn user that only the first 16 characters would be used
