Description
Modern Strong Password Creation Programs and Sites meanwhile can create random passwords with 100 Characters.
i.e. http://strongpasswordgenerator.com
The installtool allows only passwords with 50 Characters for the database password.
ERROR:
The following errors occured
Password was longer than 50 chars (...not saved)
------
This should be increased to allow 100 Characters

- Status changed from New to Rejected
According to MySQL documentation passwords are hashed to a 41 bit string. So longer passwords won't increase the security.
If anyone feels the urgent need to use a longer password it can still be set manually.
