Funny... mine just chopped down a few characters.
Same thing happened when I joined, then a redesign came (and forgot to update my email w/ NG) and went back to original LONG password (which I forgot!) Lost 6 years of logins thanks to that crap.....

That explains why the last digit of my password got lost in the wash.

If any of the programmers see this, they may wish to attempt a fix, or put a warning out, so that people put their password request in, rather than saying "I'm locked out of my account >:("

I believe nothing changed in my password.

Having a 20+ character password doesn't seem very practical to me, but it's good that we can at least beef up our safety if we want to.

It's the eternal struggle of security vs convenience.

Now we can finally use passwords like correct horse battery staple. Now if THIS isn't convenient, I don't know what is.

I always jot them down anyway so I can settle with a very lengthy password. Most pleased they have done this.
