Add support for longer passwords

Security Improvement Feature.

Indeed.
This was implemented in the past, but I dropped it during the vendor overhaul back in 2019 or so.
It does need to be added back.

I might get to work on this I suppose as a good first issue, can't go wrong, how should one go around testing this, do I need to emulate DivestOS or use a real device with DivestOS and build it then run it on it to do the tests ? Is there a dev guide in the wiki ? Or should we try to write one for the DivestOS community so more things can be done by the community and maintainers like you can focus on harder issues or design for the future features of DivestOS ?

@AkechiShiro This is a one liner in f/w/b afaik. Some older branches may need a change in Settings too. See here how GrapheneOS does it: GrapheneOS/platform_frameworks_base@63da3a2

@SkewedZeppelin thanks, but I need to make the changes upstream ? I don't understand where this exact line is for DivestOS, I'm looking at the manifests and most are cloning LineageOS or GrapheneOS GitLab/GitHub projects.
EDIT: What do you mean by f/w/b ?

[SkewedZeppelin]

DivestOS is a monorepo of scripts and patches that apply onto upstream. For a change like this, I'd add a sed line to all the Patch.sh scripts.

So I had a look I have to patch every Scripts/<LOS/Common>/Patch.sh file with a higher limit for password length just like you've mentionned the GrapheneOS for instance.

Probably the same sed line can be copied inside them

I've done a PR, please review it when you have the time to do so @SkewedZeppelin, thanks for your help, I've backported the sed to all LineageOS Patch.sh scripts.
