Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 As a path forward I think the following needs to change:

 * docs: retain as is but update the maximum length note to `255`
 characters
 * field: update size attribute to 255
 * upstream in GB repo: modify the field so it only allows a maximum of 255
 characters.

 At present it's possible to set a password in the admin that can't be
 entered in the front end UI, thus the suggested change to the field.
