Passwords truncated???

[Mr E]

Odd one this,

Tried this morning, and could not login.

Now, I know that I haven't changed my password, and I'm not mistyping it as FireFox is filling it in for me.....

So, I clicked on the "Forgotten Password" bit, and it mailed me my password, but seems to have lost the last letter?

Anyone else had password wierdness?

try typing just the 1st 8 letters of your PW.

Ted has changed the way PW are checked.

The stored password was only ever eight characters. If you typed something longer it used to only check the first eight. Now it can cope with 16 properly.

Don't ask It's a legacy of many moons ago.

Ah, that would indeed explain that.

Thanks chaps.
