If that’s true, can you please share a link to your website so that I can stop using Dropbox and migrate my encoded data to be stored in your password field?

They don't encrypt your password, they hash it.

Hrm, yes, good point. So my snarky comment loses its charm, if it ever had any. Still, though, I think it’s reasonable to alert the user if your password exceeds its allocated storage rather than silently truncate.
