Bug Description

There is a limitation of "8 to 64 characters", so you can not save the settings, so you can not use the "Ask for this password every time" option

We can handle this by changing the limit from "0 character to 64 letters" from the source code, but I think that it is not the best way ...

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for your bug report, what has the limitation to do with the problem? You have a password with less than 8 chars or more than 64 ones? What version of Ubuntu are you using?
Ideally that bug would be reported upstream as well
