[jira] [Commented] (ROL-1959) Remove hardcoded client-side password length restriction in favor of more user-friendly validation

["Glen Mazza (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-1959?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13618510#comment-13618510 ] 

Glen Mazza commented on ROL-1959:
---------------------------------

The Maxlength field for Yahoo! I got from clicking on "Create New Account" here: https://login.yahoo.com/ 
and it shows:  <input type="password" name="password" id="password" value="" size="32" maxlength="32" class="" aria-required="true">, so it has maxlength.

Facebook, I stand corrected, entering it again I just see this:  <input type="password" class="inputtext" name="pass" id="pass" tabindex="2" />.  No maxlength.

So you win, you got two out of three.  :)   I'll reopen this JIRA, I probably won't be the one fixing it (or applying patches to same) due to more pressing concerns, but it will be open unless somebody else closes or fixes it.  At the very least even if we keep the maxlength we should be able to print a text stating that up to 20 characters is OK (like Yahoo! does).
