User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1 Build Identifier: If you use strong site specific passwords (eg based on http://nuttinlogs.com/post/4300704251/creating-strong-and-unique-passwords) you run the risk that your password is longer than 16 characters and can't be used in bugzilla. Please allow longer passwords! Reproducible: Always
Where do you see this 16-char limit for our passwords? I can't see that we set any limits (other than minimum of 6-chars) on our password input fields and we hash the everything we got to the DB. Please, feel free to reopen if you find a place we enforce this limit. Thanks!

The article doesn't mention Bugzilla at all. That's unrelated.

Sorry, it happened to me on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/ and I mistakenly taught it to be a bug in bugzilla.
