[Bug 81559] 15 character password limit in GNOME login

[Roger Mathisen]

Public bug reported:

GNOME login window allows maximum 15 characters in the password field.
Why not give the same limit to the GUI, 'users and groups' or remove this limit?

Workaround:
Had to login in terminal mode and change my password (sudo passwd USERNAME) to get back in.

Using Ubuntu 6.10

** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Wishlist
         Status: Confirmed
