Was testing things and ran into autofill errors with KeePassXC. Looks like the Firefox plugin manages to pass the full length of the password, even if the input field is limited to a lower number of chars. Manually pasting the password truncates it, though.

    It is reasonable, but I can’t shake off this dislike towards such arbitrary feeling limits. I know some algorithms have issues with certain lengths, but why bother preventing me from logging in? Truncate it at the hashing step and let me move on with my life. Or at least state it beforehand.

    The worst offenders are the ones who allow signing up without a limit but the login form starts enforcing it and you can never pass through it.

      This is one of the most annoying things I regularly encounter in life, and it’s reassuring that I’m not the only one so irritated by it.

      THANK YOU
