Differing maximum password lengths

I've just spotted a bug where the maximum password lengths are different between Beersmith (software) and beersmithrecipes.com.

I use a password manager to generate long, secure passwords for everything.  I tend to set them at 30 characters.  When I changed my beersmithrecipes.com password a while ago it happily accepted a 30 character password, but when trying to push a recipe to the cloud from Beersmith (software) tonight I found that the max length of the password input is 23 characters.  This meant that my password was incorrect because it was missing 7 characters.

It was an easy fix by changing my password to 23 characters so it worked on both, but it would make sense to have a consistent maximum length across the whole ecosystem.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using Beersmith v2.2.12 on OSX
 
Thanks,
  I'll certainly put this on my list to fix.
