I encountered this issue with LinkedIn.
With LinkedIn, they restricted the password length to something like 20 characters, but accept an input of arbitrary size.
There's a disconnect afterward based on the string they store vs the string that's generated when you re-enter the too-long password. Maybe they do a server-side encryption on initial creation, but subsequent logins use a client-side encryption? I'm not sure.
EDIT: I'm trying to sign up with a 20-character password consisting of uppercase and lowercase letters, and numbers, but I keep getting this error (which has a typo):
"Username can contains only letters, numbers and underscores."
- pankratiev 16y agoThis error means that something is wrong with the username. Note that you can use only lowercase characters in username. I agree that there is unclear error message, I'll fix it.
- GrooveStomp 16y agoThanks for the info. Yeah, it's confusing. On the Username input I was also getting the error, but the example shows: http://tagmask.com/yourName http://tagmask.com/yourName Which has camel case that's invalid. :)
