I read a recent anecdote bout a similar issue. The person had their long password silently truncated to 21 chars on the reset page and 20 chars on the login page. That sounds like a super fun thing to track down as an end user.
- crottypeter 10y ago(UK mobile network) giffgaff.com does this. You can enter any length (as far as I can tell) on the "set password" form but the login form will only submit 25 chars. This means you can successfully set your password to something you can never enter! It has been raised in their forum but the discussion there is drowned out by people missing the point entirely. https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Help-Support/Password-Limits/m-p/4588010/highlight/true#M1562049 https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Help-Support/Password-Limi...
- mathw 10y agoI've run into this kind of issue before. I had an 11-character password silently truncated to 10 on signup, then when I typed the full one into the login form it failed to log in. Woo. Can't remember what clue the system gave me that let me figure out what had happened now.
- syntheticnature 10y agoI ran into one of those... with a bank! Supposed 32-character limit, but the login page truncated at 31 via Javascript (was able to force my way in via using the console). Ever since I usually don't max out the listed length during generation, just in case.
