UPDATE (2025-02-02T06:06Z): I did some brute-force testing, and, at least for sh.itjust.works, it seems that the maximum username length is 50, and the maximum password length is 60 [1].

- When creating an account on sh.itjust.works, the sign-up form will throw this error if the provided password is greater than 60 characters in length.
It might be 255 characters?
Assuming that’s the field applicable to this question, there isn’t some other limit somewhere other than the database and that I didn’t miss another later migration that changes the field length etc. I haven’t looked terribly thoroughly, though.
Can’t wait for the 255 username posting to 255 community @ 255 (253?) instance
