Does that form has an attribute for the maximum password length or is does done entirely via JavaScript if you check the form in the Inspector ?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

hello ahmed,

please follow the steps and instructions: 
Clean any saved password you have for the affected website.
   Install the "Saved Password Editor 2.7.1" addon.
   Have Firefox save the wrong password once.
   Go into the addon's personalized password manager.
   Edit the password and save the popup as an image for future reference.
   Clean any saved password you have for the affected website (again).
   Go to the website, log in and this time, refuse to save the password. This will put the website on the exception list.
   Go into the addon's personalized password manager.
   Create a new saved password and enter the informations as stated in the printscreen from previous step, but input the right password. 

MAGIC! Firefox will auto complete the website's information AND will not ask for an update to the password.

It's a shady workaround for an option that should be included, but it works!

This is strange. Red border around the input field states that the password is being validated and the webpage's code doesn't allow more then 8 chars (a page, not a browser).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:invalid https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/HTML5/Constraint_validation https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Forms/Form_validation https://github.com/mdn/learning-area/blob/master/html/forms/form-validation/min-max.html#L22

As far as I know, nothing has really changed around this behaviour in recent versions. Do different browsers allow 10 characters? Can you use the Inspect element, to see the parameters of this password field? (Validation can also be programmed using javascript).
