The password recovery of bugzilla seems to be bugged... If I set a password to something which has a decent length, aka 20+ chars, and then try to login, I get an error saying it's incorrect. I don't have this issue with shorter passwords, so I'm guessing that at one place the password is getting truncated without giving any notification of this. Can someone replicate this issue, or does bugzilla just not like me :) ?
This reminds me the issue I had (and still have) with redhat bugzilla. At some point of time I got error "Password is too long", but I could login if I typed the first 16 (IRCC) characters of my password. Nowadays it just says failed login if I try the full password. I guess early versions of bugzilla simply truncated the password to 16 chars or so, and the handling of logging in has changed in the new versions. This is of course very annoying to users who might not even know what is going on.
