   * **Strict Length Limit:** Passwords **MUST** be between **8 and 20 characters** in length. The underlying IPMI protocol silently truncates anything past 20 characters, which causes a silent mismatch that locks users out of the Web Dashboard.   * **Strict Length Limit:** Passwords **MUST** be between **8 and 20 characters** in length.
