 == Test Report

 Patch tested: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9776

 === Steps to Reproduce or Test

 1. In the admin dashboard, head over to **Posts > All posts**.
 2. Select the **Quick edit** option for any post.
 3. Enter a 255+ password in the password input box. In my case, I used a
 300-character password.
 4. Click the **Update** button and observe the page.

 === Expected Results

 - ✅ A validation error should pop up when you try to save a 255+
 password, and locking post should fail.

 === Actual Results

 - ❌ No validation error pops up; warning the user to use =< 255 password.
 The password is not saved, and the user is not informed that locking the
 post fails.

 === Additional Notes
 - While in post edit page, the password gets truncated to 255 (as I
 mentioned [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63943#comment:9
 earlier]) without informing user, this happens before and after patch.
 - I believe this should be fixedin Gutenberg.
