FYI: passwords can only be max 32 characters

And it doesn't warn you if you paste a longer one in.

I've created an upstream issue about this:
https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues/2877

I just wasted a bit of time discovering this.

Maybe add a PR-request for the Cloudron docs?

[jdaviescoates]

@necrevistonnezr good idea, done:

https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/-/merge_requests/61

(I also did one earlier to fix the broken link to the Kavita wiki)

@jdaviescoates said in FYI: passwords can only be max 32 characters:

And it doesn't warn you if you paste a longer one in.

In general, why there's still software out there that limits your password length or composition, is beyond me. Isn't that a problem that has been solved in virtually all programming languages?

[jdaviescoates]

@necrevistonnezr totally agree. I don't get why people limit passwords to 32 characters (or to any length really).

And in the opposite direction, it also really annoys me that without editing files Ubuntu won't let me create users with weak passwords (e.g. for my children to use, or for my team members to be easily able to use my laptop to screen films at a film and food event I organise without them needing my primary login)
