 Replying to [comment:107 bgermann]:
 > I did not change the 4096 character limit unit test yet so this one
 fails. Should I just remove the test or introduce an explicit check for 72
 characters in the authentication code and the test?

 I'm not a programmer, but Dropbox has probably a nice approach to this
 problem - using SHA512 along with the bcrypt.
 Maybe this information will help somehow someone.
