Ah I see. 

I think I made a mistake during pasting in the PasswordField; I could not see it because it renders only password-characters. 

The issue is less of a problem now, but I think it is still a good idea to remove the {{maxLengh}} from the {{input}} if {{type}} is {{password}}, because the user has no visual feedback on what he did wrong. In my case: could not log in, because the last characters got chopped off. 

What do you think?

> I have a change-password-page with a PasswordField with a StringValidator.lengthBetween( 3, 20 ).
> I ran into an error where I could paste a long password (>20 chars), and Wicket not throwing errors, but cutting the password to length 20.
> Wicket version: 7.0
> Chrome: 45
> The maxlength is rendered as attribute on the element.
> <input id="password" type="password" name="password" value="" maxlength="20" minlength="3">
