Password Requirements‽

So I had forgotten my password but managed to reset it and use a password manager to now remember it for me. Well turns out using that password to try to log in on an other device didn't work so I tried on the same device that I reset it on and it seems to not be accepted How I had just changed it ten minutes ago so it is definitely the right one but inputting it says 'Incorrect Password. Please try again.' Is there a maximum length issue? minimum complexity requirement? Alphanumeric only? Minimum length? Special characters? It doesn't say. I'm fine for now logged in on only one device, but I would like to have a password that my manager can handle between my devices which means I need to have the specs that I need to conform to. Thank you.

I don't think we have any requirements at all. In any case, if you put in an invalid password on reset it should certainly tell you that, rather than just silently failing.

Can you try changing it again?

New password is only 48 characters and works. Old one was 64 and failed silently or rather it was accepted but attempting to use it after logging out failed. Both were/are Alphanumeric only.
 
I have tried changing or reseting my password before and it doesn't work. It like, won't accept the new password and says it doesn't match when one enter the new password twice? Or I can stay logged in but it says the old password I'm trying to change is wrong so I can't put in a new one.
