Description: When logging in to the server using mysql CLI, and -p option is specified without following option, we cannot input more than 80 characters. The limitation is due to the following code found in client/get_password.c: char *get_tty_password(const char *opt_message) { char to[80]; How to repeat: n/a Suggested fix: Increase the length of the character.
