Reporting a Bug: allowed password length inconsistent with login methods


Recommended Posts

It looks like I found a bug in the various login methods provided by Evernote.  I tried to contact support but as a basic customer it doesn't look like there's even a way to report bugs anymore without upgrading to chat or send an email.

The password reset page allows for a password with a maximum length of 64 characters.  I chose a 64-character password and everything worked fine.  I then tried to connect my Android Evernote app using the new credentials and it wouldn't work at all.  I went back to the website and logged out/in again and had the same issue.  Neither login method worked anymore.

I used the "forgot password" method to reset my password to something 40 characters long and now everything works.  I'd check your backend limitations (database), front-end limitations (app login fields, website login fields), and website password reset fields to make sure that they're all working with the same assumptions for maximum password length.
