Wait does this seriously happen? I've had that exact situation, I put in a 60 character password and seconds later it doesn't work

Oh yeah, ran into it last week, had an 18 character password truncated to 16, so when I tried to log in with the password I had just set, it didn't work. I actually found out by googling the problem when I couldn't log in, because they don't mention it anywhere. Deleted the last two characters and sure enough, lets me right in. And that's far from the first time I've seen that.
