Details

When I need to create a password, I usually generate one in my password manager and paste it into the web form. Sometimes the password input field has a maxlength field set, causing the password to be cut off without notice. The same would happen when manually typing in a password that fills the entire width of the input field.

I think there should be some sort of feedback or warning to the user that their password has been shortened.
