Comment:

 In [changeset:"38590"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="38590"
 Database: Increase the size of `wp_posts.post_password` to 255 characters.

 Longer passwords and passphrases are much more common than when post
 passwords were introduced all those eons ago, so let's increase the length
 of the `post_password` field from 20 to 255 characters.

 The password will continue to be stored in plaintext, as the ability for
 the post author to view the password is a commonly used feature.

 Trivia: this was the last 3 digit Trac ticket to be closed.

 Props skippy, nazgul, iandunn, adamsilverstein, pento.
 Fixes #881.
