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.

    I think that check must be bypassed for admin passwords, or it was instituted after I created programming.dev

    That could be a possibility - we can do some tests to verify if that’s the case. I found this related issue which might indicate that all auth flows through the same logic.

    Even if that was the limit, it still should be enforced by the backend on login, not on the frontend

    Unfortunately, that might not be the case. Dessalines mentioned in this comment that the backend doesn’t truncate overly long passwords, and throws an error instead. Although, as you mentioned, this might be bypassed for admin users.

    Either way, I think we can take a deeper look at this and verify this information! Feel free to create a new issue for this on GitHub if you’re able to so that we can track this issue better.
