Arbitrary Password Length Limit: There Can Only Be One^H^H^H^H Twenty or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Character Limit

I wrote a long and detailed short story describing how I figured out this bug, but the forum ate the post when I tried to submit it, and I foolishly didn't write it in a proper text editor. So this is not the greatest bug report in the world, this is just a tribute.

There appears to be a 20 character limit on passwords that the game client silently enforces. Neither the website nor the client give any sort of warning about this.

Also, the UI for logging out and changing your password on the website is really hard to find.

Also, as a new player who came to this forum to submit a bug report, the security question asking me about a random part of the game served only to alienate me.

I offer my condolences for your devoured story. It would have been interesting to read.

It's definitely good to know the security question can be alienating, though...

I salute your password policy sir!
