Password Length! HELP!!!

[vehpbkrby]

I use Authentication Method LOCAL.
I made an account : "qwerty" with password "qwerty!!!".
squide dont accept this.
BUT if i change password and make it easy: qwerty
squide accept this!!!!!!!!!
How can i use complex password?????

Squid's basic auth is crap. It's based on crypt and cannot use any password over 8 characters long.

In prior versions the password was silently truncated and accepted, now it's rejected, which is more correct.
