8 char password limit on account creation via website
No seriously, the password entry field has maxlength=8 set.
I hope that's only a form bug, and you don't actually truncate them when authenticating.

Yeah, we are aware of this and will be adding longer password support.
Agrees. Devs, fix this. This isn't some bs mission update soon(tm) crap.
Yeah Ray, if you say something on April 3rd, it's no longer April fools you know! Don't make me find and bump the thread from 2003 where we told you about this!
We somewhat mitigated this some time ago with server-side work to prevent brute-forcing of passwords against the server (web/game). This didn't resolve the issue, but it made certain exploit cases more challenging to attack in practice.
This is an important issue to us, it has been discussed recently (this week) and is planned for the near future. Some of the other projects that have take up our time (Windows 8) have been contractually obligated, so it's not really as simple as the external judgement of relative importance.
