<h1 align="center">Shorter Form of Editor Password Accepted at Login</h1>
<h3>Problem </h3>
<p>Your editor password is longer than eight characters but you can successfully login to DMOZ using only the first eight characters.</p> 
<h3>Solution</h3>
<p>This is simply a feature of the operating system DMOZ runs on -- passwords have a maximum length of eight characters. So, when loging-in you can safely use only the first eight characters of your password. However, when you edit your profile you must use your full password.</p>
