#296 User entry form password fields mismatching length

I have just installed phpCollab and tried to create the first "proper" user. Because I discovered that the system does not cope with special symbols (ticket #245), I have specified password generator parameters so as to disallow special symbols and make length 16 chars to keep reasonable password length.
I pasted the generated password to the new user "password" and "retype password" fields, only to discover that the system complains about the "mismatched passwords". HTML inpector in Chrome showed that the "password" field max length is 15, while the "retype" field max length is 16. So my 16-long password was trimmed during text paste in the first box, but not the second, hence mismatch.

Two password-related bugs in the first 3 minutes of use after new installation... not doing very well, are we...

    Correction: the previous ticket number #295, not #245.

    Hi Arunas,

    It does appear that there is a discrepancy in the password/confirm password fields when adding a new user. The password field has a maxlength of 15 and the confirm password has 16.

    Thanks for pointing this out to us!

    Jeff
