How about… an undisclosed character limit? We’ll just keep telling you your password is invalid until you figure out the max length.

Fun fact, this is a feature of Lemmy:

  • Lemmy has an undisclosed password limit of 60 characters.
  • Lemmy's signup form will silently truncate passwords longer than 60 characters to 60 characters.
  • Lemmy's login form will crash when passwords longer than 60 characters are submitted.

Someone please submit a PR

Just move to kbin.

Let the users enter as many characters as they want and silently crop the password to a few characters.

I would give up before I figured that out and find some other service to use.
