Login input field too short in Android Build frontend

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Bero writes:

this breaks things badly for me: The login form is limited to 30
characters, but <email address hidden> is 32.
Even after injecting "document.getElementById("id_username").maxLength=35"
into the login page with a JS debugger, the login fails (probably because
the 30 character limit is not just imposed by the form at random -
username/permission mappings stored in a sql field limited to 30 chars?)
(Yes, the proper fix would be getting me a shorter name ;) I don't have the
right permissions to do that though ;) )

Confirmed issue as described by Bero. This seems to be scalable way to fix it: https://github.com/GoodCloud/django-longer-username (add this meta-app to the set of Django apps).

Deployed django-longer-username app and verified that both DB and form now has 255 char limit. Waiting for Bero to confirm it's actually fixed.

No complaints - closing.
