Description:

For passwords, I use a method, which generates passwords for me. Those passwords are very long (>50) and e.g. bbs and aur accept it without problems, but here on bugs.archlinux.org it doesn't work. Right now I use a temporary password, which I want to replace asap.

Is there a limit for how long the password is allowed to be? Maybe this info was in the mail I got after registering here, in that case sorry for the noise. But to me it looks more like there's a limit which isn't mentioned anywhere.
This task depends upon

You should keep in mind, that this may depend on a specific database-setup. The best way to check this out, is by doing it yourself with "bisect". Take the half length and test. If it works, it could be longer. If not, shorter...and so on. Therefore, I don't think this deserved "Severity High" :-)

min seems to be 5:

max. is probably 40:

Sorry for putting severity to high, I actually wanted to set it to low, no idea what went wrong in my head in that moment :D

Ok thanks Peter, I'll set the length to 41 then 40 and will see if that's the max. I actually filed this because I think the lower and upper limit should be mentioned somewhere during the process of registering.

Yep. You're right!

Ok, the maximum is 30 characters for the password.
