Error code 1501: Passwords must not exceed 8 characters

[audoh]

If your password is longer than 8 characters, you will always get a 1501.

However, your password can contain non-alphanumeric characters.

Okay, this seems like it might actually be a length limit. Currently trying to narrow down the exact limit, but I can use symbols if the password is 8 characters.

Question of the day - is this actually a device limitation and if so are TP Link therefore just truncating (or perhaps doing some other analogous transformation to) the user's password?

Just wanted to share my own experience regarding this issue.
I've just implemented a simple script for some home automation and my password is well beyond 8 characters.
I haven't run into any issues though. Maybe the update for my P100 plugs I installed yesterday fixed this on their end?
Went from 1.3.3 to 1.3.4.

My devices are on 1.3.4 as well, and I haven't updated them since before I tested this. How strange, there must be something else to it than just length or special characters.

Also get the 1501 error. Though notice that https://github.com/K4CZP3R/tapo-p100-python experiment does not have the same issue. Works fine even with my long password.

I believe I finally fixed this in the latest version (0.1.0) :)
