Password reset incorrect length error.

Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.

The password reset form generates an error that says "Password is too long", even though password was under the 32 char max. It did not prevent me from setting the password. I'm using latest Chrome, but was able to reproduce in Firefox.

Yes, it is counting each dot as two characters and triggers 'too long' after 16 characters.

Incorrect utf16 encoding, maybe?

I also had it set my password to 16 unicode dots on the mapdm server during testing. But it only did that once, and I could not replicate it after doing another password change.

This does not happen on normal password changes, just on the emergency password reset page.

It's a nice idea, but the truth is less dramatic.

I'll check in a fix.

Do we need a max password length at all?
