-4096-byte limit on passwords

-.. note::
-    This behavior was also added in the Django 1.5.4 and 1.4.8 security

-Historically, Django has imposed no length limit on plaintext
-passwords. This enables a denial-of-service attack through submission
-of bogus but extremely large passwords, tying up server resources
-performing the (expensive, and increasingly expensive with the length
-of the password) calculation of the corresponding hash.

-Django now imposes a 4096-byte limit on password length, and will fail
-authentication with any submitted password of greater length.
