Password field maxlength of 20 blocks Vanguard logins
Original: prevents me from logging into Vanguard Article URL: https:// tanin.nanakorn.com/input-type- password-maxlength-20-is-con
A developer writes that Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat system prevents them from logging in because the login form's password field has a maxlength of 20 characters, truncating longer passwords and rejecting legitimate credentials. The writeup argues that limiting password input length in this way is harmful practice, and the story has drawn discussion among developers criticizing the form design.
Why now: It highlights a real usability and security flaw—password truncation at 20 characters—that developers find controversial and relatable.
