Document the 469-byte account-password maximum and distinguish it from the RSA key-size threshold and bcrypt's 72-byte input limitation. Clarify which requirements administrators can configure and how share passwords differ from account passwords. Signed-off-by: Josh <josh.t.richards@gmail.com>
Replace tentative language with verified token-storage and validation behavior. Clarify the consequences of missing recoverable passwords, tighten the security impact statements, and correct password-length boundary wording. Signed-off-by: Josh <josh.t.richards@gmail.com>
