Sony’s password reset process accepts a longer password than the login form, meaning if you set your password too long, oops, you can’t sign in.

@cassidy Passwords there's no theoretical cap, I love when sites can't be bothered to set credit card detail limits or other items with known hard limits @cassidy It'd also be nice if web browsers warned you when they truncate text pasted into a password field. Not doing so can set you up for the opposite problem: 1. generate a long password in your password manager, 2. paste it into the website and have it truncated to a shorter version, 3. the website changes to accept longer passwords, and now the version in your password manager is wrong. @cassidy last time I had this issue with a website, they actually stopped the first 12 characters as a password and ignored the rest ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
@cassidy I wonder if you can force it using a JavaScript console
