Although at some point you’ll get collisions, but I don’t think that’s actually an issue. It still equally hard to guess a password from the hash, there will just be some solutions that are much longer than others.
Comment on My password is not accepted because it is too long

You store a hash which is the same length regardless of the password.

Youre right lol. I forgot that hash lengths are different from the actually password length.
