That probably means it was silently cutting off the password until now. Cursed, reminds me of the original unix crypt() which I think did the same.

I was thinking the same.
Can anyone check the code and verify?
Coz if [the first 60 characters of a long password] has the same hash as [the long password], something is fishy.
I think it only reads the first FIFTY characters 😱
Is your password longer than 60 characters?
does its length intimidate you?
Lets review:
You make a declarative, public statement about the length of your password, suggesting a problem
The required length of a password is stated at your link
Someone asks you the obvious question
You insult them with a complete non sequitur
Wow...
