He’s just alerting US to a problem-—he no longer has one.

Just always make your password the same as your username, then you have half as many things to remember!

Yes. You are exactly correct. I don't have a problem, I am just reporting it as a 'minor problem'.
On a scale of 1-10 of severity, it is an 8.
Some of us are careful but not 'parnoid' about computer security...

Im a System Admin, an IT professional. I deal with password security all day, every day, government regulations, you name it.
Yeah, the password change page should have warned you about the upper length limit. I agree.
But come on, you solved your own problem in a matter of minutes without even losing your account.
On a scale of 1-10 severity, this is a 1.5 at best. Trust me on this.

Jim's site is a home brew site with a feature set based on limited resources available. You've let them know so maybe they will get it to some day. And 20 years later, this site is STILL the best, simplest, fastest-responding, least-annoying, clear, easy to read... AND NO ADS!!!
A perfect example of KISS. FreeRepublics site is a thing of beauty.

Just 'cause I want to know...
If you used long, robot generated passwords; where you store them?
If on a electronic device, what then if the device fails, is lost or destroyed?

Well, that password ("password") is definitely a fairly short password, while the password "long" is shorter than the password "short", and both of them are shorter passwords than the password "password".
(That holds true in English, anyway. Now, when you switch to Russian, you might want to consider using the longer password "collusion".)
To: plain talk
I changed my once when I was hammered and typed over my tag line and thought my account had been hacked.

LOL! Yup, when I log into my Moscow Free Republic account (what would that be called? - Enslaved Socialists?) I’ll use ‘Collusion’ as my password.

I generated the password. The 'robot' just enters it for me...
You can use email to retrieve your password.
I had this problem about a year ago, and I am just now reporting it.
As someone else, it should warn you that the password you entered was too long, or tell you how long it can be.

My work phone is a IPhone 6+, not email capable.
I have 7 passwords for junk inside plus one to unlock the phone. Passwords are required to be changed every six months.
What is best way to store passwords?
