Today when I hit by mistake ENTER a letter before finishing to type my
password, I witnessed me being logged in anyway. So trying to trim the

Is there a way to increase the length or is this hardcoded?
Yes. Choose a different password hashing algorithm.
See policy.conf(4) for details.
The traditional UNIX crypt algorithm, which is the default, has a max
password length of eight chars.
