Password limit is set to 60 characters - eviltoast

It seems like the password limit is set to 60 characters so I’m unable to login to my instance. There probably should be no limit in the app because each server could have different limits set.

    Well, there could be very reasonable reasons for the limit, like keeping the hash tables sane, or keeping databases from needing unnecessary padding, but there really isn’t any reasonable reason for needing 60+ characters in passwords

      And how is this the duty of a client app to police that? OP says it’s about being able to log into their own instance and the client app is blocking this.
