Comment (by r1k0):

 Also to add on to the description of the bug, when you add 255+ password
 through post editor in site editor. The password gets silently truncated
 to 255 characters and stored as such in the database. But when you enter
 255+ password through quick edit option under the post in admin dashboard.
 The password doesn't get truncated and gets stored as is in the database
 (i.e. 255+).
