The password field on both the account creation page and change password page seemingly allow one to enter passwords longer than the invisable 32 character limit. My password is 36 characters apparently the html form blindly truncates the password to 32 characters. I ended up changing my password many times and remained unable to login until falconindy on freenode(irc) was kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Please increase the password length limit beyond 32 and/or provide a warning if a user tries to set a password larger than the limit.
