 In [38590] max length was increased from 20 to 255 for `post_password`
 The problem is that, if a post is over 255, there is no server side
 validation, and this is not enforced in the Quick Edit panel either with a
 `maxlenght`

 In the database, obviously the 255+ character password will be truncated,
 but the user will never know this.
