Are you sure that your password is actually 29 characters? Try changing some of the last nine characters and see if it will still let you log in; they may just be dropping the last nine silently.

If I leave off or change the last few characters I can't log in. They don't truncate the password.

Amazon was doing this with password over 8 characters for a long time. It was inevitably fixed.
