Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long

Then again, there’s not much point to super long passwords. They’ll be turned into hashes, commonly of 128, 196, or 256 bits length. When brute forcing, by a certain length, it’s pretty much guaranteed there’s a shorter combination computing to the same hash. And an attacker doesn’t need your password, just some password that computes to the same hash. With 256 bit hashes a password with 1000 characters isn’t more secure than one with 15 in any meaningful way.
