It seems like the password limit is set to 60 characters so I’m unable to login to my instance. There probably should be no limit in the app because each server could have different limits set.

Why make excuses for maximum password lengths? Just let people decided on their own if they want 200 character passwords or not.

    Well, there could be very reasonable reasons for the limit, like keeping the hash tables sane, or keeping databases from needing unnecessary padding, but there really isn't any reasonable reason for needing 60+ characters in passwords

    And how is this the duty of a client app to police that? OP says it's about being able to log into their own instance and the client app is blocking this.
