Hi all.

When I registered, the registration screen wouldn't let me enter a number as part of my password more than eight characters.  WTH?

To compound that, the log-in screen DOES let you enter numbers more than eight.

It would be great to get this fixed, since highly mixed longer passwords are the most secure (not that I'm posting bank-account info here, but still).

Thanks!

Ah, I see the problem: Passwords can only be eight characters long!

That's pretty silly.
