Hello fellow humans.
----------------------------------------The listed password format requirements are Password Format Requirements: 6 characters minimum 100 characters maximum May use alphanumeric and "special" characters (!@#$%^&*_+=:;, etc...) Common and very simple passwords are not allowed. However, the max length of the password field in the form is set to 60. Anyone who has a password longer than 60 characters can't use this login form without modifying the HTML on the client side before submitting the login request. <input name="j_password" class="textboxSixteen" maxlength="60" size="20" type="password"> I discovered this when I was having difficulties logging in using a password manager that utilizes longer than "normal" passwords. Thank you for your time. *edit* I added the link to the offending login form, as there is another login portal elseware on the site.

Funny, as in past, when the length allowed was like 16, you could enter longer than the permitted length into the form field... it would just scroll off to the left, invisibly to the user as it only shows as ******, and it then storing the last N characters typed, so you'd never get back in, lest you know if one had a longlong password set up.
----------------------------------------Some programs have a button in form of an eye symbol to show passwords in plain text, for as long as holding the button, to inspect what one typed, in case of access problems. Standard BOINC projects allow recovery by logging in with the 32 hex authenticator key that can be found in the BOINC data dir account file, but regrettably, not at WCG.
